Gymnastics at DeVeaus

This fall, we signed Abel up for gymnastics at the same gym I worked out at when I was a kid living in Indy. This program and gym is amazing and far superior to what we were doing at The Little Gym. Ryan usually took him on Saturday mornings and his teacher, Mr. Brian, was a BIG fan of Abel Flessner. We are currently taking a break from gymnastics as we have a lot of full Saturdays and we only want Mr. Brian to be his teacher. However, we'll get him signed up in the next session! Here are some highlights:

Stretching at the beginning of class with his classmates...



Stretching out his stomach doing a bridge...



Walking on one of the beams...they have to walk and squat down to pick up a beanbag. It makes them use so many different muscles and takes a ton of concentration!



Jumping on the trampoline...Abel finally has jumping down. We worked on this for a looooooong time!



Swinging on the rings - Abes does this on his own!



And playing in the pit. They have to bounce down a trampoline runway and then jump in the pit. Abel has been really apprehensive about jumping in the pit, and just started getting confident enough to do it on his own! Once in, they "swim" through the pit! That's a good workout!




Meanwhile, Adelyn plays with her carseat while Mama runs around taking pictures. She's such a breezy baby!!!
