To keep Ty occupied and to give him an outlet to release all his energy, we started him in gymnastics in November. He loves it. He likes to try to practice some of his moves at home, but we have to remind him that he only does those things at gymnastics. Below is Ty with his teacher assisting as he performs “skin the cat”. He can now do “skin the cat” on his own.
He also enjoys the obstacle courses they have them do and jumping on the trampoline.
We went to the gymnastics drop-in room one day and Ty set up his own obstacle course around the room, finishing on 2 sets of bars. He completed at least 20 rounds and was sufficiently tired after that.
Here is Ty on the balance beam – with assistance.
One the last day of Gymnastics before Christmas, they had a bounce slide put in the gym for the kids to play on for class. Ty absolutely loved it.
Here is Ty with his Gymnastics Teachers.
In December we signed Ty up for Swim lessons. Here is Ty on the last day before Christmas. For class, they put on life jackets and let them go down the water slide.
In January, after returning to Cheyenne from spending 2 weeks in Utah for Christmas, we were able to get Ty into a Preschool program called STRIDE. Apparently it is one of the best in town. Sadly, it is only 2.5 hours, so the time goes by quickly. It is not his Preschool in NC, but he seems to be enjoying it and has started telling us about his time at school which is a good sign.
So between, Gymnastics (3x/wk), Swimming (2x/wk) and Preschool 4x/wk, Ty is typically ready for bed by 7/7:30 and sleeps soundly until at least 7:30 the next morning.
