Gym Time
As if our weekends were not jammed packed with events such as play dates, and birthday parties, Mummy and Daddy decided to enroll Erik into gymnastics as well! Yeah, we know, he's only TWO! We tried the gym out twice before deciding to enroll, actually. First was during Miss Karalyn's 2nd birthday party and Erik absolutely loved it! Second time, we went back for a freebie trial class and again, Erik enjoyed the class a lot. He loves the uneven bars because he can hang on them. He also loves doing the forward rolls on the soft wedges.
So for the past month or so, Mummy & Daddy were 'shopping' around on gym classes. We tried out a gym near our area and thought the class was way too structured for him. Erik loved exploring the other areas in the class when it wasn't his class turn yet. We also tried another class where our friends were sending their pre-schoolers (4 and 2) but it too was structured and with multiple classes going on, it was a little too distracting for Erik. After much contemplation, we decided to enroll Erik into the original gym class for the summer semester.
It fits in well with our Saturdays. We would get to go to the Library in the morning, pick our favorite books, read a few before heading over for some gym time right before lunch. It gives us family another activity to do together and bond. Plus, this gives Daddy a great opportunity to ...eh...work out with Erik together LOL! Daddy has to do some of the parenting moves too! So Cute!
Erik enjoyed his class a lot and it was great to see other Daddies participating with their child in the class too! Often these type of classes are usually "Mommy & Me" or the majority of the participants would be Mommies at least. However, it's a good change to see a few dads taking active interest in their son or daughter by participating in these classes too and having fun!! Plus Grandma Katy wasn't the only Grandma that came in to play either :o) hahaha! So now for the HOT HOT summer, we get to look forward to some indoor 'A/C' gym time on the weekends!
