The Boy Hearts the Little Gym

There was a time where I struggled about whether I should continue Lil Isaac’s gym class. I meant, he doesn't seem to pick up an identifiable skill and the classes are freaking expensive. I am not sure if the classes are anywhere pointing near to gymnastic in the future though I really don't think so. But the little boy loves his gym class. He wanted so much to continue with them and so we did for another term. And like I mentioned in my earlier post, it is my perfect bargaining chip for not bringing him along to jiejie’s ice skating class. And each time I bring him to his gym class, I just feel that I have made the right choice. Oh, did I mention that he totally adores his teachers too. That is like another big plus.

Just like any Sundays, I would bring him to his gym class after church while Popo sends Lil Shauna to her Chinese class. And like usual, he would run to the center, takes off his shoes by himself, have his temperature checks and dashes into his class. There is no clingy boy, a totally different boy from Sunday school that took place just an hour ago. It also didn't matter whether mummy is near the class waiting for him. He would wave and give me a huge grin if he spots me by the window. If he doesn't or even if he sees me leaves the center (to walk around the mall or get a cuppa), he is totally fine. That is like so rare for me. I mean, he is fine and goes to school/ class good when mummy is not in the picture. The nonsense starts only when I am around. Yes, I am the problem. Lol.

He takes instructions well in class and totally has a blast jumping and climbing and rolling. He tumbles and falls and knocks and sometimes I choose to look away but at least it is in a safe environment.

After class, if we have time, he sits and builds structures with blocks. 

Then, we walk around while waiting for Daddy Lim to pick us. He may fuss at times but is well-behaved generally and I think it is bcos he totally enjoys the attention that I showered on him solely. We are also starting to wean him off his stroller. He is way too big for his stroller and the stroller is also starting to disintegrate from the years of wear and tear. He walks and doesn't complained. Oooo-hoo!

Ahhh, I love his gym class as much as him.
