Noah's First Gym Class as a Registered Student

Noah was very excited when he saw his uniform T-shirt to go to the gym today and gave it a BIG hug before he put it on!

We just got home from Kinetic Kids Gym and Noah is wiped out of his mind.  He is currently eating lunch and soon to take his nap.  I am squeezing in an entry before I am off to the gym for my Step Class!

An update on Noah's progress at the gym:

Now that we have signed Noah up we decided that Saturday classes suited us best so that both Steven and I were available to go.  Well, today's class had a TON of children in it!  I believe it was double the class size than last Saturday class.  Of course there were people there just trying the class as we did last week, but it was quite overwhelming for Noah.  He had woken up with a small cough this morning so I had given him a little medicine before we headed out.  Noah wasn't excited for the gym as he normally is and he didn't want to take his shoes off at first to go to class.  Eventually we got him in there and he was excited to start playing...and then a million kids showed up and he became very shy and scared.

He did have a major improvement this week on actually sitting on the mat when the bell rang for instructional time.  He actually watched and participated a little bit, but he was still very withdrawn from the other children. He wanted to do everything in the class, but he didn't want the other kids to be there.  So we will keep on trucking through and I think we will see a little bit of progression each week.  It is quite an adjustment going from never being in daycare or around other children to attending a class every week with multiple kids.

At the end of his class they announced that they just created a new session time for Friday mornings and we decided to switch Noah to a less crowded class.  So far he is the third student in that class, so it should be a little less overwhelming for him!
