Jack the Gymnast

Jack has qualified for out state's early intervention program to help develop his gross motor skills.  One of the physical therapist suggest a gym in town and we signed Jack up.  He has had three classes at this point and absolutely loves it!

I've been super impressed with the teachers and the fact that they work on the kids on actual skills.  Each class beginnings with a bit of open playtime before songs ans stretching.  There are also structured skills lessons, which are pretty impressive.  We need to work a bit on following directions, but we will get there!


While the kids are waiting for their turn at the skills station they are supposed to sit on a mat.  It's funny how quickly Jack has figured out that sitting on the mat means he gets to have his turn soon.  Especially when it is something super fun!  I'm so excited that we found this outlet for him.  It is exactly the extra boost he needs to help develop his skills, and I'm so fortunate that we are able to provide him with the opportunity!
