Gymnastics!

When ice skating ended, Gavin told me he wanted to do gymnastics. I was surprised, since he didn't seem all that into it the first time we tried it (summer 2010, when he was almost three).

But I was happy that he wanted to give it another try. We signed up at Naperville Gymnastics Club, and he LOVES it! He jumps and runs and does everything the coach asks. His class has four other boys his age, and they work on tumbling skills and rings.

Parents watch through windows at one end of the gym - so the picture quality isn't the greatest. It's also hard to get a good shot when your subject is in constant motion!

His class was doing somersaults (forward and backward) on these ramps:



The cutest part, which I was not able to capture on camera, is when he raises both arms at the beginning and end of every trick! Just like the pros!
