Tumbling Class

So we took chasen to a trial tumbling class on Thursday to see if he would like it.
He keeps talking about wanting to play baseball and soccer but he can't until he is 4
when I ask him to pick up his toys his excuse is
"I can't because Ill be to tired for baseball practice when Im 4"
such as smarty pants.

It was a very busy place and very loud and when they came out to call his "class" I walked him to the door (parents couldn't go in) and he screamed that he didn't want to go and that he wanted me to go with him.
another mom said he could hold her son's hand and go with him. I told him it was going to be fun and he would get to do somersaults and jump on the trampoline. He said
"but I don't know how to do those fings"
and the teacher said she would teach him and he took her hand and away he went...
my big boy :(
So ean and I stood there watching through the ridiculously small window (they really need to remodel and make it so parents can watch) bobbing out heads and standing on tip toes so we could see.
I was so proud of him doing things he didn't know how to do and listening to the teacher and talking to kids he had never met.
First they did stretches then some somersaults and a hand stand and took turns jumping on the trampoline and they did somersaults down and inclined mat.
When the half hour was over they sat down and got stamps on their feet and then Chasen came through the door, saw us and shouted
"mom I did it and I wasn't scared! I did it all by myself!!" :)

I almost cried. So of course we will be signing him up, not sure exactly when yet but in the next month or so.

we are also going to sign him up for 3 year old preschool in September in mt. vernon.
at first we weren't going to do 3 year old preschool because I don't really feel it is necessary, Im able to teach him here.
But he keeps talking about wanting to go to school and the one day he went to preschool with garin for an hour he loved it and still talks about it weekly and that was 4 months ago.
So we paid to hold his spot and he will go tue and thur 9 to 11 I think or 11:30.

He also tells me he can't pick up his toys because when he is 7 he will have football practice...

"But mooooom Ill be to tired for football practice when Im 7"



and this smily little guy will just have to put up with being toted around from activity to activity until he is old enough to join.

And soon all my evening and weekends will be filled with running boys from sport to sport!
