Brek got to participate in his very first activity. Our local community center held a Toddler Tumbling class for 6 weeks. We actually missed the first class, but it was so popular and there were so many more kids that wanted to sign up, that they did a 2nd course, and even split that one into 2 groups as well. It also turned out that almost all of the kids in Brek's class were also apart of his storytime group at the library. It meant more socializing time for the moms, and a familiar group of kids to be with. Brek LOVED it! He was always asking to go to tumbling. He still talks about it and is hoping they do another class soon. He gets so excited when we drive or walk past the community center and still does some of the neat tricks he learned. So now, for the random and mass assortment of pictures:
 |
| Weather permitting, this is how we roll to Tumbling. |
 |
| Brek loves the wagon. |
 |
| Brek was not always the most obedient child, as this "action" shot shows him running around instead of doing what the teacher said to do. You win some and lose some with 2 and 3 year olds. |
 |
| Somersaults regularly included dogpiles |
 |
| Getting some help from his teacher Miss Katie |
 |
| The balance beam. Our friend Hannah is the girl on the right. |
 |
| Brek's turn. By the end of the class, he was able to walk the whole length without falling off, if he wanted to. |
 |
| Moving a little faster, and Miss Katie helping our friend Hunter, Hannah's brother. |
 |
| Miss Katie getting Brek to go back around. |
 |
| I love how Hunter has his arms out, even tho he isn't on the beam. |
 |
| Good job Hunter! |
 |
| Hunter and Elia |
 |
| Brek's turn again. |
Time for bean bags. I'd have to say this was the time of class where Brek was the MOST disobedient. He was always throwing them around the room.
 |
| At least here we've got him actually putting it on his foot like he is supposed to. |
 |
| Can you guess what happened right after I took this picture? |
Hula Hooping. Brek was pretty good at this thanks to the hoop we have at home. Lots of action shots.
The Obstacle Course - putting it all together.
 |
| Somersaults with Hannah |
 |
| Balance Beam |
 |
| To the left and in the back you can see the hoops on the ground and the tunnels to go through. There were always pile ups and arguments over one thing or another, which were hilarious to watch. |
 |
| Brek LOVED to help put things away, especially the beam. It makes a parent proud to watch their child be helpful. |
 |
| Everyone had to get in on the "helping" action. |
Scarves
For the first 5 classes, the parents had to stay out in the hallway. Sometimes we were able to see through the door what was going on. But other times, they had to close the door either due to noise or to keep the kids from wandering out to mom or dad. The very last class we all got to come in and watch. We were laughing so hard.

| Brek is there at the left side of the map doing his somersault. |

| Everyone on the beam |
If you couldn't tell, we just loved this! Brek loved it. We loved it. Totally worth it. And we certainly hope they'll be holding the class or something similar to it sometime in the near future, or at least next year. I'm also excited for the classes Brek will get to take as he gets a little older.
