We've wanted to put Merrick into some type of activity, and for the most part none of the classes take kids as young as 2. But we recently found a gymnastics place that takes 2 year olds as long as the parents participate. So we signed up! We figured this would be a good way to help his coordination --- hopefully the payoff is we have fewer falls and therefore less damage to the noggin!! The class lasted 45 minutes, and initially I wasn't sure he was ready for it because he spent the first 15 minutes of the class obsessing over the fans throughout the gym to keep it cooler. He's got this thing about fans...he's afraid of them for some reason. So he was going on and on about the fans and finally the instructor turned them all off! That's when he decided to get down to business. He had a BLAST. In fact, he started crying when we left, because he wanted "more 'nastics!"
