Logan started gymnastics today and he absolutely loved it!!! But I have to be honest, I was dreading this morning all week long because I didn’t know how he was going to do. He doesn’t do very well when we take him to Nursery, he usually cries when we leave but then he’s okay, and over the last 6 months, I’ve tried doing gymnastics with him other places and he just wouldn’t do it. So, I honestly didn’t think things were going to go well today. So, we pumped it up ALL. WEEK. LONG. It’s a three year old class and they let him start even though he’s not quite three yet and so he goes in by himself. Yesterday Lindsay had gymnastics and so I took that opportunity to walk him through what we would be doing for his class. I showed him where he was going to put his shoes and his coat and where I was going to sit to watch him and where he’d be able to see me the whole time. They both have the same teachers so I told him that and I also told him that he’d be doing the same things Lindsay is doing. It seemed to work because the kid just went right in. He had to go potty before class and as he was washing his hands, they started. I walked him out to the mat and the teacher said hi to him and he hid behind my legs. Oh boy. So I knelt down and showed him again where I would be sitting and he said, “Yeah, but mom? Can I have a sucker after class?” I told him I would ask if they have any (the reason he asked was because Lindsay got a sucker after her class the day before) gave him a kiss and told him to have fun. He sat down and I walked out and he had a blast! It almost made me cry watching him in there by himself because he hasn’t does anything without Lindsay by his side. Even while he was going potty he asked if he could sit by Lindsay during class and I tried my hardest to explain that it was for almost 3 year old boys and girls and that Lindsay was too old. They are seriously so sweet with each other. But he loved it and did such a good job listening to his teachers and doing what he was supposed to. My little baby is getting so big. Lindsay and I had fun watching him because sometimes he would forget to do all of the circuit and he would just do the things he liked the most over and over and over again. I’m so proud of you Logan and we love you!

3It was actually Friday, Laura. Beth had meant to post this but had only saved a draft, and it was after midnight before we actually posted it, so it says Saturday. But yeah, it was on Friday.
