Jasper had his first tumbling class last Tuesday - with ONE other kid in the class at the Altoona Campus. That worked out well because J and Charlie got tons of one-on-one time with Lauren, the instructor.
They had to run up, then jump off, a foam ramp and then were supposed to go into a summersault. Jasper's not great yet at the summersault but he's already better than he was before he started. He'll be a pro in no time.
They then hopped into and out of hula hoops and hit the first balance beam (there were three). In the end J went forward, backward and sideways on the balance beams, took little hops on one and high-stepped over bean bags to work on his balance.
Lauren finished things up week one with a short lesson and kept their attention with a box full of candy sitting on her head. Each boy got one piece of candy at the end of the class - J took a blue sucker. (She better have the box next week -- I'm sure J will remember!)
He liked it a lot and I'm sure will learn a ton during the six-week class.
