After going to "open" gym class for a few weeks and seeing how much fun Nolan had I decided to sign him up for a parent & tot class this fall. Everyone says the key to surviving deployments is staying busy, so I thought this would be a weekly date Nolan and I could do that would be fun for us. It is fun, but wow, its sooo tiring. After going to open gym for weeks, trying to convince Nolan he couldn't run wild and had to listen to an instructor was a little tough. The first couple weeks were the most difficult, but I can definitely tell a difference in his listening skills (at class at least) and his participation. And he's really starting to trust Miss Jean, his instructor, which helps a lot. Last week Brian joined us so I was able to snap some pictures. And Abby is in Nolan's class, too, so it makes for more fun!

I LOVE that he is trying to do a sommersault in his crib!
That is a perfect triangle you have goin' on in the crib!! Miss Jean would be proud!
Yay! Gymnastics are so fun. Everything in your class looks so much like ours. We have trouble with Avery on the tumble track too....she just runs at full speed to the other end instead of jumping on it! Ha Ha crazy kids!
Looks like so much fun. I took Madeline to an opengym one week when Kurt had her and she LOVED IT!!! Maybe if we get to keep her for the whole summer I can enroll her in a class.
