The daring, young Ruby on the flying trapeze.

The girls have been taking a gymnastics class once a week since they were each old enough to join.  Most kids' gyms that we've seen have a baby class available for 18 month olds.  It usually involves a lot of free play, exploring various tunnels, large foam blocks, trampolines and balance beams.  The classes really helped Lily become more physically confident on the playground - she used to be so apprehensive about going down slides.  Ruby, on the other hand...  I have to tell her not to jump on the sofa or stand on the dining table and save the monkeying around for gymnastics!
