Funny Bugs

With the start of a new season, Nathan is beginning another session at the Little Gym as a Funny Bug. Nathan has been taking classes at the Little Gym for the past year and a half. He enjoys running around and climbing on the equipment. Mommy loves the fact that Nathan can have an outlet to help him release his energy.

We received sad news at the beginning of the summer session that the Carrollton Little Gym was closing. Nathan had been with the same teacher, Mr. Jason, since he started there and we were really going to miss him. So, we transfered to the Plano location to finish out the summer session. The Plano Little Gym welcomed us with open arms. Nathan quickly attached to his new teacher, Mr. Travis.

Nathan attended his first class of the Fall semester as a Funny Bug today and has a new teacher, Mr. Zack. There are a few changes that go along with graduating to the Funny Bug level. Nathan has to go to class all my himself. Mommy gets to sit in the lobby and watch through the windows. Nathan has to pay attention and follow Mr. Zack's directions. Nathan did an excellent job for his first class. Mommy was so proud of him. He only ran off three times during his hour class and returned quickly when Mr. Zack called him back.

These are some photos that I took during Nathan's last class of the summer session as a Super Beast with his teacher Mr. Travis.


Nathan's favorite activity at the Little Gym, jumping on the air track.



Nathan doing a backward roll on the air track with assistance from Mr. Travis.



Hanging on the bars like a monkey.



Riding the donut with Mr. Travis.



Climbing and Jumping



Walking the balance beam.



"Mom, don't make me lose my concentration!"



We end every class with popping bubbles and playing with balls.
