Muscle Man

Night two of gymnastics at My Gym. Lennox was ecstatic to be back. He ran around like a wild man during the free play at the beginning. He was attached to this ball, rolled around all over it, and then made his way to the ball pit where he swung from a rope and jumped in.

When the class began, Lennox sat so still listening to directions. Daddy and I always marvel at how he follows directions. Maybe that is because he doesn't always follow directions at home :-)

The classes begin with a little share time. Tonight's question was what is your favorite dinner. Lennox said "bread." Daddy and I laughed. It is true, our little man loves bread.

Here is Lennox doing his warm-ups. A little butterfly stretch.


Then relay time, crawling and jumping over a rope. Don't know if you can tell from this picture, but Lennox has the "Cross concentration tongue" happening in this pic. Whenever he or daddy or his cousins are concentrating the tongue goes out to the side. So funny!


Listening to the directions for the monkey bar center.



Daddy and I were a little nervous with the monkey bars and how Lennox would do. When Coach Mike called his name to come up Lennox jumped up like he was getting the biggest present ever. So excited! Coach Mike helped him across and when he got to the end he had to walk his feet up the wall and ring the bell hanging from the last rung with his toes. Lennox did great.

Then he got to hang from the side of the monkey bars. Lennox probably hung for a good 30 seconds before he tumbled to the floor and onto the mats. A lot of the other kids cried when they fell. Not our little Lennox, he giggled and was so proud of himself!

Then Lennox went to the balance beam center. He did so good on the balance beam and caught on pretty quickly. When we got home we even had to do this trick again with mommy and daddy walking across a line of the floor and Lennox holding our hands saying "use your balance" and "you not gonna fall."

The last center was this swing. Lennox held on tight while Coach John swung him around. Lennox loved this of course. When he climbed down the coach asked him where he went while he was swinging around and Lennox said "Disney World."

Later that night Lennox reenacted the entire routine at gymnastics. We can't wait to see what he will discover that he can do next week at the gym :-)
