Gymboree!

We had Gymboree class today. Anna was in our class. Charlotte was very excited to see Anna, and she was thrilled that Anna had on a name tag that she was obsessed with pulling off!She followed her everywhere until she got it off!
Then she stuck it back on!
She actually went on the trampoline all by herself! She is still working on the concept of jumping.
This is our 5th week and Charlotte has figured out how to climb up the climber! She did it all by herself! The first week she didn't even know what to do, and each time she got a bit better. I was so proud of her!
It's so nice to see progress! Not that I want her to know how to climb...
Once she got to the top then she got to throw the bean bags down!
Charlotte loves the balls at gymboree. She threw a couple at her friends today. Not on purpose, but they happened to be standing in the way. One dad said that she had quite the arm! It's all the ball throwing for Baylie!
Something new today was hula hoops! Charlotte was so happy!

The signature activity in level 4 is the "tap tap freeze" dance. They have a big air log and a song to go along where the kids tap on the log, and then when it tells them they freeze! Charlotte this week started saying "pat pat pat EEZE!" and puts her hands on her head. It is the funniest thing!
Anna was very funny. She kept going over and sitting on this dad's lap! She loves men!
I really am not very fond of clowns, and the mascot for gymboree is Gymbo the clown. Charlotte loves him. I guess he isn't really a very scary clown. She wanted to give him lots of hugs and kisses!
Once class was over, Charlotte went up to our teacher and put her hands up for her to pick her up! Then she put her head down on her shoulder. It was so cute! She then held hands and walked over with her to get stamps.

Charlotte had stamps on both hands and feet and still wanted more!
So she decided that she would just sit with Ms. Rachel instead.
We stayed and played for a few minutes after class. Poor Charlotte has 8 teeth in/coming in and I think they are really bothering her. She found a soft triangle and loved chewing on it!
She also mastered climbing up this ladder/climber. The holes in it were a bit intimidating, but she did great and kept going back!
Then of course what would a day be without a little self admiration! She loves looking at herself in the mirror!
She went over to where the music was playing and danced by herself. A part in the song told you to sit down, so Charlotte did!
One last stretch before we left and we were all set!
