First gymnastic lesson

updated by mommy @ 5 years 2 months 2 weeks and 2 days old

After put up such a "depressed" post, I looked through my photos in the computer and decided to put up this post.

We decided to send Darren for gymnastic lesson. Main reason is to improve his flexibility, make him more agile and stronger. With his eye sight problem, gymastic can help him with his depth and spatio perception.

I brought him there 2 weeks ago. Initially he refused to go in but after seeing what the children did, he told me he like it. Why? Because they have monkey bars. Hahaha...

So last week I sent him for a trial lesson. It was such a "fun" session for both Darren and myself. Fun for Darren because he get to do so many physical activities like walking and balancing himself on a beam, doing hand stand with legs supported on wall, playing on monkey bars, running and jumping....Fun for mommy because I got to see how "clumsy" he is in certain activities, proud of him when he can balance himself on the beam, how he "struggle" when he was asked to do side split..and all his funny actions and antics during the class.

It was really a "priceless" experience for both of us. He loves the lesson and look forward to go again. I video most of the activities he done there and showed it to hubby at night...all of us has a good time laughing watching the videos....

One funny incident that happened during the lesson...

When he was asked to do "side split", he tried so hard and he struggled to hold on to that position for a period of time...till he told the teacher...

"(moaning in pain) I feel my leg is going to break like that..."

Teacher then replied, "Hold on for a while...hold..."

Darren replied, "(moaning in pain)..cannot la...later my leg will get broken.."

I can't help laughing when heard him saying that...hahaha..good training for him.

After the class, the teacher told me that he is actually very strong. Just that he doesn't know how to use his strength and muscle.

I'm glad he enjoyed the lesson and willing to go for it. Oh...mommy has one more extra "chauffeuring" to do...
