Regan's First Graduation

This was Regan's first time to take her own Little Gym class. Before this she used to tag along and just get to watch her sister. Now she knows she gets her own time each week. Here are some pics of her enjoying her "show week"...



Helping with the bells...



Doing a little warm up...

Playing with the parachute is a highlight of Little Gym. He she is listening for the next direction...
And waiting patiently for a 'ride' on the parachute with her classmates...



This is Regan just before she got to do her 'parachute slide.' The kids lie down on the edge of the parachute and all at once the parents lift the edges. The kids go sliding into the middle. They all love it and it's often followed by screams for "MORE!!!" It's amazing how still Regan can be while at Little Gym. I am sold that this place helps them with listening and direction following!

Again, sitting patiently. This time we are under the parachute, in our tent, singing a song.

One thing Regan absolutely LOVES to do is swing on the bar. Most of the time I can't get her away from it to do anything else. We often refer to her as our little monkey... She even grabs a hold of the edge of the kitchen table at home and tries to swing. Crazy kid!

Granny helps a bit on the big balance beam...

And some peek-a-boo through the big doughnut...


Here she is receiving her very first medal... (to hear the sound on the video, make sure to pause the music on the blog first)

Seems as if Regan is just as proud of herself. She wore that medal for DAYS after this class! I finally had to put it away so that we could keep it safe!

OMGosh- they are getting so big!!! I wish we had a Little Gym around here- seems like a great way to blow off some energy, especially in the winter!

Great pics, btw.
