I decided that it was time for Owen to get involved in something. Claire started dance at his age, and I wanted him to have an activity each week that would get him some exercise, and get some of his energy out. After talking with a friend I decided tumbling would fit him just great. He loves tumbling. It is his favorite day of the week. At his tumbling gym they have a waiting area for parents which is above the kids so you can look down and watch what they are doing. The first week was great, the kids played, I watched no big deal. The second week was a little rougher because Grant cried the whole time. The 3rd week was a nightmare!! I couldn't get Grant in the car, and as clear as a bell (which is rare for him), he looked at me hit his chest, and said "I AM." I got the picture, he wanted to take tumbling. So I asked them how old they needed to be to start, and you guessed it Grant was old enough. I decided to put him into a class on a Friday afternoon thinking that he wouldn't be as tired, and then Owen could go with him. It was a much smaller class. Owen was fine with moving, for the most part. So off we went to tumbling. The first day Grant did great. He is 3 so he didn't listen as much as the other kids but he wasn't that big of a distraction. The second week, was well not so great. He didn't want to do anything, and finally I just had him sit by me. The third week he cried in the car before we even got out, so I just gave up. I wasn't going to force him to do something he clearly didn't like. Thankfully they gave me a credit to pay for Owen's next session of tumbling, and everything worked out just fine. Maybe we will try again next year, but we will see how he is doing.
