The Little Gym

I mentioned in a previous post that we were doing gymnastics at a place called The Little Gym. I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the big thing I love is the noncompetitive focus. They aren't training kids to be professional gymnasts, they are teaching them playground skills and beginning sports skills. Alexa just needs to try to use her body in new ways, but it doesn't matter that she can't do half of the activities-no one cares. They encourage her to try, but don't worry too much when she gets distracted and wanders off..the other kids do their own thing some of the time too. If there is a branch near you I recommend them without reservation. I have linked their website in the beginning of this post.
