Buckeye Bounce

Our favorite babysitter, Morgan, works at a place up the street from us called "Buckeye Bounce."  It's one of those places that has trampolines all over the floor and this one also comes with a pit of foam blocks.  Morgan teaches a "mommy-and-me" class during the week so I thought we would give it a shot.  What kid doesn't like trampolines?!  

Let's just say that Nolan was a bit nervous about the whole thing.  There were breaks when he would forget that he was uncomfortable and we saw a few smiles and a few apprehensive jumps but I think this is something that is going to take him a couple of attempts to get used to.  His favorite thing about the whole class where the balls that Morgan brought out and he did actually enjoy jumping off of a platform into the foam a few times.  All and all, I'm glad we went and I hope to head back a couple more times before going back to work.

Clinging on for dear life in the foam pit.
Not real sure what this was all about....is he modeling?!
 That big, blue wedge behind him on the right was what he actually would jump off of into the pit.  It was probably the scariest of the activities there but it's the one he liked.  Who knows?!

"Who knows?" He's a future Olympian, of course! (Probably platform diving) Some day, you'll be telling this story to NBC Sports--just like the poor parents of one of the guys on the US gymnastics team recently did.
They were asked what their son was like as a child/did they notice his 'talent' at a young age? They sheepishly told the story of how they had visited a department store one day and temporarily 'lost' their 4 year old son....until an employee noticed he'd scaled a clothing display--all the way to the ceiling! Did they send him to his room? send him to the corner and his 'time out' chair? Nope. They sent him to gymnastics class--the very next day.
Grandma is rooting for you, honey. GO TEAM NOLAN!
