A + For Reagan

For the month of May, My Gym was doing a client appreciation and allowed the kids to come to an additional class for free. Usually Reagan attends her class on Friday from 9:15 to 10:15 and any other time we go it's just for a Free Play. However, we took advantage of the free class and we have been going Tuesdays as well. Reagan loves going and can see huge improvements in her especially in the past week. I even had a lady ask me how old Reagan was and tell me that she is such a good girl. (talk about melt my heart)

She has been paying attention so well lately and she follows along with the instructor. During circle time she sits right next to me and does exactly what she is supposed to. For one activity we practice, "bounce and bounce, and bounce and bounce" with our arms out, Reagan does it and says it right along with them. We also practice, "up and down, and up and down," "side to side, side to side." She just sits there doing what she is supposed to do, saying the motions as we do them. Before I would either have to do the motions for her, or she would try to get up and run off from being in the circle.

Then there are a few different activities: front rolls, swinging on different trapeze, going through obstacles and she is always the first to want to try out the new activity. If the instructor asks if there is a volunteer who would like to help demonstrate, Reagan always runs over to them. (Unless it is the owner who is helping instruct that day. He is a guy and she just isn't quite sure about him yet.) Otherwise, she is first to want to try out the activity. Before she would cling on to me, she could careless about trying the activity and I had to try and convince her to participate.

I am just so proud when I watch her at the gym. You can really tell she loves it there and it makes me happy to see her improve. Since May is over, we can only go once a week again so I am looking for other things to fill up our schedule. So far we found a Toddler Time at the YMCA every Tuesday and at the end of June we will start swimming lessons!
