NATURAL MONKEY BOY

We enrolled the boys in gymnastics this month. We figured they could use a good physical outlet. Blane's not taking to it so quickly, but that's just how he is sometimes. Tobin on the other hand...

The first day was a skills assessment day. Tobin was the only one to climb the rope to the ceiling and ring the cowbell. He was bouncing and tumbling like he'd been doing it for years. The instructor showed him how to do his arms for a 'dismount', and he got that too.

After the class, the instructor asked Kristen if Tobin had done this before. Obviously the answer was no. The instructor's response, "Well he's really good. He must be one of those kids who just enjoy jumping around and climbing on things I guess."

Ma'am, you nailed it.
