Gymnastics

I started taking Nathan and Spencer to a gymnastics gym once a week. It is open gym time, mom's stay with the kids and the kids pretty much get to play on the equipment. Spencer thinks it is great and especially likes it because Taneal and Camie are quite put out that they don't get to go. This last week I decided to grab the camera and get a few shots. I wasn't able to capture many pictures of Nathan, he is such a busy-body, so most of his pictures were blurry. He was back and forth and all over the place. Once when I looked around for him, couldn't find him right away, and finally found him over in a corner sticking his fingers in the handles of a jump rope. His mind is working like crazy. I'm thinking his mind is like my dad's, the engineer kind. He looks at the world wondering how things work. He bounces a ball and watches it until it stops and then does it again. Cause and effect and how things work. Nathan really enjoys going to the gym.
Spencer really liked doing the balance beam, jumping on the cool trampoline, and swinging on the ropes. He played and played and was bummed when it was time to go. Of course when we got in the car I asked him if he had so much fun and he told me it wasn't any fun at all. And every day since we've gone, he has asked to go back. Hmmm. I think he really did have fun just wasn't happy to leave.
