"Ta Da"

Pinky's Thursday night activity this spring (and our weekly comic relief) is gymnastics.  There's approximately 20+ 2ish year olds in her class.  Each with a parent (or 2).  And 4 instructors.

This seems to be the perfect combination for TOTAL CHAOS!  She loves it! 

Each week the teachers set up little stations and parents try to get their child(ren) to wait in line to practice the exercises.  In order for this to happen, parents have to drag them off the trampoline, pull them out of the foam (fungus) pit, and chase them around the gym.  (No problem!)  After each exercise, a "ta da" is prompted, followed by lots of colorful stamps (rewards) up and down the arms and legs of the children.

Here's a glimpse into the world of Parent-Tot gymnastics with a 2 year old:

NO fear!  (She gets that from her daddy!)

Can I get one of these at home?

Fungus (I mean foam) pit. 

She can do it without help . . . . Really!

Check out that form!

Hop!
