First Gymnastics Meet

It has been fun to watch Jason learn gymnastics. At first he could not do much, he started by hanging on the bar, trying to do pullups and struggling to walk on his hands across the parallel bars. Last week he had his first meet. At this age they are just meets with the kids at the gym. There was only one other little boy, which I am glad there was one. Jason had a great time playing with Colten in between doing the events. The way it works is everyone rotates from event to event. The girls had to rotate as well, so they had to wait as long as it took for the girls to compete and there were a lot more girls, so they sat and played a lot. First they stretch. Jason is very flexible. Not sure where he got that from. But even compared to the girl he is flexible. He is also very strong compared to the other 20 or so boys at the gym. Only a couple other boys have the strength he has. At the end they got ribbons and an all around medal. It was funny because they swithed back and forth from 1st and 2nd quite a few times. They had a good time with that. They were laughing that they had to switch back and forth. The boys with their coach. They have an excellent coach. The boys all really like him. Here is a clip of Jason's events.



When Jason watched this a couple days ago, when watching the rings he said, mom my muscles hurt just watching that. I thought it was fun to be there and watch.
