The combination of the weather and Mila's constant tumbling, stretching, and twirling led me to sign the kids up for gymnastics at a big complex at Chelsea Piers. A co-worker asked me if that's where Suri Cruise goes; I haven't seen her there yet, though there is a picture of a visit from Olympian Gabby Douglas.
Mila predictably loves the class, and she's actually really good at tumbling and balancing. She's ok at following instructions. Shay isn't as excited about it, though he seems to have fun during the class. Part of it may be that there are a lot of girls in the class, and there are lots of girls in his class at school. I looked into switching classes at Chelsea Piers, but it didn't work out. I'm hoping that things will even out in school next year in kindergarten. Meanwhile, he's getting plenty of exposure to Disney princesses. I think he knows more about them than Mila, since neither have them have seen the related movies.
Now for some pics of the kids in action at gymnastics:
There's a parents area that's up above the floor, so no good close up pics. But you get the idea...
