My Little Gym Rats!

Keeping two rambunctious little boys entertained on a daily basis can be a tall order....especially now that the ease of summer activities are over and fall is upon us.  Luckily, there are no shortage of activities here in Irvine, the land of the nuclear family with helicopter parents and over-scheduled children.  My options included baby yoga, chess for kids, mandarin in 6-weeks and no-lose soccer.  And as interesting as those sounded, I ultimately decided that I just wanted the boys to have fun and simply get the wiggles out.  So I signed each of them up for separate gym-style classes.  Gav started Gymboree and Jack is going to My Gym, a kids fitness center.  Both boys absolutely LOVE their classes and I couldn't be happier watching them get to be silly little boys.

Gav has class on Wednesday afternoons.  His favorite thing to do is play with all the brightly colored and different sized balls.  He would pretty much do that the entire time if they let him.  But they encourage the kids to try out all the different activities and interact with the other kids.  I love watching how he plays with kis his age.  Since he's not in school this is really important for him...

Jack goes to My Gym on Thursday's with Mr. Neil...who is so fantastic with the kids.  He was meant for this job.  Jack absolutely adores him and literally cracks up at all his jokes and silly dances.  At My Gym, the kids get to run around, jump, tumble and try out all the cool acrobatic equipment.  Jack seems to have a little "extra energy" than most of the kids but they are so cool about it and just let him be himself.  Here's Jack in action...
