Our Little Gymnast

I signed George up for some gymnastics classes at our local recreation center. The first class was yesterday and George did pretty well. Most of the kids had been in the first session (which we were not) so they knew what to expect and how things work. George looked a little lost at times and was terrified of the teacher helping him do anything, but when it was time to just explore all the equipment on his own, he had a lot of fun. Um, a trampoline? He couldn't get enough!

This is one of the stations the teacher tried to help him do a flip around the bar. George just slowly stepped backwards away from the teacher quietly saying no. After she left to do something else, he ran up and played on it himself.

Trying out the climbing stuff... I'm thinking that next week he'll feel a little more comfortable :)

Here's a quick update on the baby since I feel like this kid gets no attention compared to how much I wrote about being pregnant with G :) I had my 24 week appointment this morning and the baby is looking/sounding good. We had a bit of a scare a few weeks ago and had to spend an afternoon at the hospital to make sure everything was okay, so I was very relieved to hear the doctor say that the baby seems to be doing great. He/she has gotten so much stronger the past few weeks and his/her kicks can be pretty powerful :) It's such an amazing feeling when the baby moves around in there, it puts a smile on my face every time. At parent-teacher conferences last week, a parent asked when I was due. When I told her early February, she said, "Oh, that's soon." And I realized that it really isn't that far away! In just 3.5 months there will be a whole new person in our lives - all three of us are so excited!
