Working Out

Caterpillar Girl joined a gymnastics class at the YMCA a few weeks ago. Right from the start, she loved the freedom of crawling in the large space, pulling up on the beams, bouncing on the trampoline, and watching the other tiny gymnasts.

Plus, she turned out to be a showoff. At the first class, she was being shown how to get off a high mat on her belly. We had been practicing getting off the couch for a few weeks so she plopped right down impressing all the other mommies.

The past three days, she has been letting go of furniture and taking a few toddling steps, so this past week she zipped all over the gym with their walker, causing more gasps. She laughs and sparkles at all the attention.
