Alan received a medal after his 20 week class at the Little Gym. When we first started at Little Gym he had a hard time attending, following directions, and usually went off by himself. I watched over the last 20 weeks how much Alan improved in these skills. He attended and listened very well. He stayed with the group about 99% of the time. He enjoyed himself and interacted well with his peers. He became confident in himself with all the routines that he teacher taught him. It still amazes me to remember when we first put him in a class like this at Gymboree where he always wanted to be by himself and never participated with the other children. Now he is becoming a little social butterfly.
On Show day, January 15, 2011, Alan surprised me yet again. He usually gets really shy or shuts down when a lot of attention is brought to him but he did awesome this day. He came running in when his name was called and showed all the parents his favorite move which was a forward roll. He then proceeded to each station show me and everyone else in the room what he could do. I was so proud of him. I am proud of him either way but it brings joy to my heart to see him just fly.
Here he is with all his friends doing a train while holding on to each others ankles.
Here he is doing his high bar routine. Loves the height.
Here is his class with his teachers. He loves both his teacher especially Ms. Gabby who is next to him.
He will be starting Karate next week at the Little Gym. I am hoping he takes to this so we can put him at a regular Karate place. I think it will really help him build up that confidence.
