Little Tumblers

Emmett has now joined the tumbler ranks. Today was his first day and it was totally what he needed. Wide open spaces to crawl, climb and walk.

He had fun head-butting the big balls and chasing them. Then using the Balls to stand up.

He’d make a B-line straight for a ball half way across the hall.

He had no fear climbing the inclined bench or the mats.

Stella has ecstatic that she could go to Sport with her brother. She played with him, her other friends or just aimlessly running around.

And thankfully she wanted to stay for her group. Lately she has protested wanting to go to sport. First it was because she didn’t like one of the games. Then it was because Daddy isn’t allowed to go in. I think part is that she has to follow rules instead of doing her own thing.

But once there she is full on involved in and willing not wanting to stay.

Once her group started I took Maja and Emmett home and then came back. While this was a matter of only 10 minutes of being away it still held a surreal feeling for me.

This was the first time that we have left our daughter anywhere not by a relative. And while this is the ultimate goal that they can grow up and handle themselves it was still a weird feeling.
