Micah's Classes

So Micah has started a bunch of new classes lately.
Every Tuesday morning we have Kindermusik class at our church.  We go and sing a bunch of songs, dance a little bit and play with fun instruments.  Micah has had 2 classes so far, and he really seems to love it.  I was amazed at how much more involved he was in the second class versus the first one.  He seemed to catch on really quickly on what we were doing.  Most of the kids in his class have been going to these music classes since they were 6 weeks old.  Kindermusik is really popular here.
Here he was on his first day..

Obviously it was a success!

On Wednesday mornings, we have tumbling.  We have only had one of these classes so far.  The class in on post.  I don't have any pictures of this class because it was a little chaotic at times.  The first part of class, we had to do an obstacle course a few times.  Micah was really good on the balance beam, he watched another little kid do it first and figured out what he was supposed to be doing, and then he had no problems.  Doing a flip over the bars bothered him the first two times, but he caught on to that pretty easily too.  Overall, a fun class but a little tiring and hard for mommy.  It was a lot of lifting and flipping him.

On Friday we go back to our church for dance class!  We've had 2 of these classes so far and Daddy has been at both, so it'll be interesting this week to not have Daddy there.  He is pretty adorable in dance class.  They've been working on tippy toes, point and kick and marching.  He's also really good at the spinning in circles and side stepping.  Tippy toes was a really hard thing for him to figure out the first week.  He pretty much just became limp when we'd try to get him to do it.  But the whole week after that class, I was watching him and every once in awhile he'd be trying to do tippy toes.  The second class, he rocked the tippy toes! That's all he wanted to do the whole class.  In dance, we have to stretch beforehand and cool down afterwards...

Not many Daddies come to their son's dance class in their dress uniform.  This was during the stretching time, they were about to walk their hands down their legs and stretch to their feet.

On Saturdays, Micah and Daddy have swim class.  Mommy skips participating in this one.  Not wanting to try putting on bathing suits right now...and Micah and Daddy love doing swimming together.  We've had this class for 3 or 4 classes now.  This past week, Micah finally really started kicking his feet.  He'll float all day in the pool, he'll go underwater..he'll do whatever you want.  However, he won't kick or move his arms :) He's completely passive in the water.  So Coach Gavin brought a beach ball this time and Micah was using his arms to try and get the ball and he also kicked the ball with his feet a bunch.  He thought it was hilarious.

He's really good at holding his head up too so he doesn't swallow water.

Those are Micah's fun classes for now.  I don't know if we will be cutting some back or changing some up in the Spring time..I could see Tumbling stopping for awhile just because it is hard on me.  With new sibling in late March/early April, this busy schedule might be hard!  But right now, we are enjoying it.
And random picture of the day..

Totally blaming Mimi for this :)  During her visit, they were playing with the truck and she put Micah in the truck and was pushing him.  So today, Micah emptied his truck out and successfully climbed in his truck, wiggled back and forth to get it to move until he ran into the coffee table...and then successfully climbed out.  He is so adventurous now!
