Gymnastics!

We've started our fall session of gymnastics and Jaxon could not be any more excited!  He (and Mom and Dad) were a little apprehensive since this is the is the first session that he gets to do it all on his own, without Mom and Dad.  Jaxon was pretty worried that we were going to bring him to class and then "sit down and not watch him."  We were worried that he'd refuse to listen and wander off to do what he really wanted to do.  Even right up to when class started, Jax kept checking to make sure we'd stay and watch him.  We made sure not to sit down and to stay where he could see us (and wave to us after every couple of minutes). 

He did SO good.  I am SO proud of him and a little bit sad that he's grown up enough to do things like this without us.  Josh and I both noticed how much longer class seems to be when you don't have to help out during the class!  When class ended, Jax ran over to give us high fives ~ or as he says, five-fives~ and then told us he probably needed to go back for more bouncing classes.  He was disappointed that it was time to go home and has already asked me twice today if we go back to bouncing tonight. 

 Finally, the rock wall!  He's been talking about how he wants to climb the wall at gymnastics since last summer.  Last session, when he'd get a chance to climb it, he would decide pretty quickly that it wasn't something that he wanted to do.  So when he actually tried to cross it on his own, Josh and I were both surpised.  :)
