Baby Gym Time!

Dorian gets to go to baby gym every week on Wednesdays. Well last week he was sick, so he didn't get to go. But that meant he got to do a make up class this week, and they had one for him on Tuesday morning. This is exciting because that meant Dada got to go with us! So here are some pictures of D and Karl. ;D


Dorian was learning how to swing on a bar and then they also got to do a pull over on the bar. He is so funny because she explains the whole thing, and while she's talking Dorian just saunters up to her and reaches for the bar. So she then explained what they were going to do with all the kids by using Dorian as an example. He is such a little attention hog! He also liked to shake the equipment and make sure it is sound. That's what he is doing in the picture with Karl there. Shaking the pole and showing Dada that it's perfectly safe and sound!
There are all sorts of things to climb over and around and one of them is the stairs. He likes stairs anyway, but these are softer so I feel a whole lot better about him climbing up and down these! He goes to the top and then backs down again. Very cute to watch. And of course he had to show these to Dada too.
This other "ramp" is called a cheese mat. I think because it looks like a slice of cheese. Anyway, Dorian likes to crawl up and down this as well. Down pretty fast due to the slope. And up a little slower, it is quite the hill! We roll down this too, either he by himself or with us hugging him as we roll. When he gets to the top of the cheese, he sits there and looks down all proud, like a little prince looking out over his kingdom.




Looking out at the kingdom of Dorian from the cheeze mat! All the other kids are playing nicely in the kingdom, and all was well.... :)
At the end of the day we get to play with bubbles and get stamps on the feet. He LOVES the bubbles. Of course, being Dorian, he doesn't wait for the bubbles to come to him, no, he goes to the source. That means he walks up to Miss Michala (the teacher) and tries to crawl up her legs to get to the bubble machine. Ah well, at least he has determination, AND figured out where the bubbles come from!
He took a nice long nap after his day playing. AND he gets to go back tomorrow and do it all again!
