Rylan is doing well at gymnastics. Because it's a new class, the participants have changed a little as people do their trial class and decide if they want to continue with the class. So far Rylan is always the oldest (by a lot right now - a year older than the 3 kids that did the class this week with us). But because it's a small class, he gets plenty of attention from the coach and gets to try harder skills.
The class consists of a warm-up and stretch, 2 sets of skills (sort of like an obstacle course that the kids repeat a few times), and then some free time in the foam pit and at the end, on the trampolines.
Rylan is a bit stubborn and it's sometimes hard to get him to do all the skills in each series (sometimes he likes to roll on his side down the decline mat instead of doing a somersault). But generally he'll do everything and is pretty good at it. Poor thing landed on his nose though this week when walking up a wall with his feet and balancing on his hands (his elbows unlocked and he landed on his face - there was some crying and a little bruise on his nose).
Rylan is super excited about going each week and I'm glad he's getting to do it (especially since Carter has soccer and baseball in another month). Carter is really jealous about gymnastics though and I may try to get him back into it either this summer or next fall. We'll see though!
