Our first class was a (free) Gymboree class for 16-22 month old toddlers. It was nice to see Abby around a of group of peers her own age. They all certainly had a mind of their own! Matt and I rotated between watching Zack and playing with Abby. She loved climbing and tossing balls in things. The theme of the day was in and out.
They had circle time and played with bubbles. I love this picture because if you look carefully all the kids and parents are in a circle and Abby wandered in the middle and put on a show for everyone. Such an actress!
The second attempt at a class was not so successful. There is a toddler dance class for 2-5 year olds at the gym and although Abby is only nearing 18 months the instructor urged me to bring her. I am not sure what I expected but I actually had high hopes. It started off great. There were 5 kids running around and Abby joined right in and was really excited. Then, class started. The instructor had the kids sit in a circle (we already know she doesn't really do that so well) and stretch. Abby sat and played wiht her toes as everyone else stretched for about 5 minutes and then got up and said "Bye!". I took her out before she became too much of a distraction and walked around a little and tried to go back in...she got fussy and I asked her if she wanted to go... and she blurted out "BYEEEE!". Class was over for us...we'll try again in a year or so.
