Josephine (and Evie) - gym lessons

On Tuesday afternoons, Josephine joins a group of about 15 small children (3-5year olds) for "Sport". It's great fun, sometimes a big challenge (depending on what they set up) and involves some structure ranging from the welcome to warm-up time to free choice of equipment in 25 minutes, a 5 minute water break, another 20minute rush around and then the goodbye song where they all hold hands, make a very small circle (everyone in the center point) and then pretend to blow up a balloon....where they all move outwards  still holding hands until the circle is at full extension and POP! The bubble bursts and everyone falls down letting go of each other's hands. Then they may go to the locker room, get changed and go home. Quite fun! Evie literally sits in the middle. She's the only baby there and she adores the attention and squeals, rocking around trying to crawl, watching everyone's every move! She LOVES it as much as Josephine does.
Anyway, here are some photos of the group in action. Josephine is wearing pink tights with a stripey shirt that looks like you could lick it (reminds me of a lollipop).
