Birthday Party at the Little Gym

One of our friend's, Jahan, was turning two and had a fantastic birthday party at the Little Gym.  Finley had never been to the Little Gym before and I was a little concerned how much she would like it.  She isn't super coordinated, she often falls down while just standing.  Her friend Max was also there and the two of them loved the bubbles the best, same as with Gymboree.

Finley wasn't super engaged in the song circle portion, she was much more keen on exploring all that was around her.  She was tenative with the tunnel, but was really excited about the bars.  She would hang for one second and instantly drop, but the best part is that she wanted to do it again and again.  She was frightened by the balance beam, she would climb up to the start of the beam, get scared and climb back down again.  Then she would walk alongside the beam, as if she were doing it, and then would climb back up the other side, get scared, rinse and repeat.  She really enjoyed it, even though she never really accomplished it.

She had great fun riding the soft wheel and kept tring to cut in line, she really wanted her turn!

Of course Finley loved the pizza and cake.  Once again, she was lucky enough to get a seat next to the birthday boy!
