One of the things that we've been doing with Owen to have him gain confidence around children and interact with them a wee bit better (as in not be shocked when someone wants to play with him!) is going to a weekly class at the Little Gym
We absolutely LOVE it and he's really been enjoying it as well. We'll be taking more pictures, and maybe some video as he works through his class, the Little Beasts...but so far...
They get to play with the balls at the end of each class, and this is by far his favourite part! sometimes they get to dunk in the big donut, other times it's actual basketball nets (they did that for the first time a week ago, and Daddy had to lift him up to reach the net...they had so much fun!!)
He doesn't always pay attention...
He was a little hesitant on the beam at first, but now...oh wow! Watch out! He'll climb the foam stairs and do the big beam (you can see it in the back left)
Dunkin' balls in the donut!
And sometimes...we get to have special visitors in class!! During exploration time, family and friends (1 extra person per kiddo) are allowed to come in and the kids just go nuts. Owen runs alllll over the place, climbing on things, walking on the beams, rolling down the cheese wedges...and trying to chatter to the other little kids
We're really excited to see him growing, developing and interacting with the other little kids. He's had his first kiss with a little girl named Rachel, bowled over a little boy named Brady, and tumbled after a little boy named Charlie. He gets SO excited when we get there and just goes goes goes!
