"Me Mat"

We enrolled Justin in a gymnastics class this past spring and have continued through the summer. Justin absolutely loves going to class, he calls it "Mat", because in class they have to go to different color mats to do activities. In just a few short months he has learned to climb the "rock wall" and use the trapeze bar and is even practicing taking turns in line. He also is learning to be more independent and daring. Justin will now jump into the ball pit without an help, where before he was very hesitant and want to hold your hand. His independence has developed quickly. Jack (his buddy) also started classes with us this summer, so they are like partners in crime! They have so much fun together.

Justin likes it so much that when he wakes up in the morning he says, "Me mat, me turn." Translated to: I want to go to gym class and take a turn. When we are driving down the road he will start yelling "Me mat, me mat, me mat." He even know where the class is. When we near FitKidz Club he will point and say "in there".

As you can see from the pictures - he has a blast! The pictures with the hulla-hoops Justin was following directions: to put his ear in the hoop, stand in the hoop, clap in the hoop. He listened very well.
