More Gymnastics Fun!

More pics from today's class:

On the balance beam... Griff is just starting to understand how to walk across it with my help.

The boys on the olympic podium.. too cute..

At the end of class, Coach Amanda gives the kids stamps on their hands.  As soon as Griffin hears "it's stamp time", he stops whatever he's doing and hurries over to sit down on the edge of the mat.  He tries to muscle his way through the other kids to sit as close to the teacher as possible to get his stamp first.. he's like a little hungry beggar...

I think the stamps are Griff's favorite part of class...

Griffin the Gymnast

Griffin's newest extra curricular activity is Parent-Tot Gymnastics at the Y!  Griff is obsessed, and I also love it because it totally tires him out.  There's everything from balls, a spring floor, bars and balance beams to big trampolines (his favorite) and a giant foam pit.  Every classs, Coach Amanda sets up a huge obstacle course for them to do, and she leads them through stretches and exercises to warm up.  Griffin, to my total surprise, actually follows her directions quite well; he lifts his arms and touches his toes on her command.  Griff and his little gymnastics buddies jump, climb, swing, and crawl until they fall over with exhaustion, and then they get stamps on their hands at the end of class.  It's too cute.
