This winter I found a fun way for Kanigh to expend some of his PLENTIFUL energy... a gymnastics program for youth in one of the neighboring communities! The kids can start at age 2 in a basic tumbling class, and go on from there. It's a fun way for lil' guys and gals to learn how to control their movements, strengthen their core muscles, and gain better balance. They have them walking on the balance beams, jumping on the olympic size trampolines, climbing rope walls and swinging around on the bars! They also teach basic tumbling like cart-wheels and summersalts. It's only one night a week, but it is definitely something Kanigh looks forward to! Here are some pictures from when he started the class in December and January.
Kanigh on the balance beam in the obstacle course run.
When Kanigh jumps down from the rope wall, he always turns to me and flexes his muscles...it is SOOOO cute!
Kanigh walking across the "big-kids" balance beam.
Kanigh doing a summersalt..he always corrects me and says, "No mommy, they are called "forward-rolls"..!
Another forward-roll.
Kanigh always looks forward to getting the "stamps of approval" from his teacher.
