Sydney's Big Show

Sydney LOVES Little Gym! She enjoys the circle time we do first thing. She loves the group activity, which is usually walking, running and doing some sort of trick on the big red mat. Sometimes we pull out the parachute, which she loves, or some other prop for the group to do. She likes to explore the equipment, but doesn't do it like the other kids. She is more interested in how it's put together and how it stays together. She is forever trying to turn the knobs, picking up mats, pushing this or that, crawling on or under to see what knobs, buttons, bolts, etc. are there for her to find. I call her my little engineer! She does play on the equipment like it is designed, but that is not her passion.

Here she is running on the big red mat

Now she's taking a little break. Can you see Quinn in the background?

Parachute time! While most of the other kids like to sit on the parachute, Sydney prefers to hold the handles and give the other kids a ride.

She spent most of the time flipping over these mats in every which way they would bend and fold and flip. Once she was done, she crawled under them.

The bars are one of her favorite things. They side step along the bottom bar while hanging on to the top bar, coordinating their hands and feet. Then they get to swing down. I like this picture because that is so K.C. with the tongue sticking out to the side!

Next up are the balls. She enjoys those too. On this day she rolled one along the balance beam, kicked it and then found a new way to play with three at a time.

Gross!

The bubbles are always a big hit! First she popped them with her toes.

Then she popped them with her finger.

And yes, she even tried to pop them with her tongue.

Here's a good close up of her while we were waiting for her name to be called to go get her medal. Again with the tongue!

Tada! That's her teacher, Miss Suzy. She is a co-owner of the Covington location. Her husband, Mr. Steve, is one of Quinn's teachers.

This was pretty much her attitude for the rest of the day. Even Miss Suzy couldn't cheer her up.

Wait, is that an actual smile? Very rare on this day. I was happy to capture one!

So she has graduated from a Beast to a Super Beast. It's still the same class though until she's 3.

TADA!
