The Little Gym

We decided to try out the Little Gym this week, to see how it would go.

Granted, Amara LOVES her music class in Grove City, AND her swimming class, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try something new--especially with Winter coming up, and cabin fever setting in for both her AND grandma Jackie! (what will we do with no mower??)

Amara (being 15 months) is smack in the center of the Birds age group (10-19 months). There were about 10 other kids in the class, but she had NO realization of anyone else besides Miss Amber, grandma, and me.

There were a couple songs (problematic since that suggested sitting still and waiting), time on the gym equipment, chasing balls, some inflatable contraption they all crawled around on, and rolling on "the cheese" down a ramp.

Amara really seemed to enjoy most of it--really just spent the 45 minutes there exploring, and jumping from one activity to another. I'm not sure if that is the typical experience or not, but she seemed like she was wearing down at the end.

To wrap up, there was quiet time, complete with bubbles, as a hush fell over the little Birds.

All her friends waved goodbye as they gathered their shoes and had their hands stamped, and we headed down the road.

Not sure what the future of The Little Gym holds for us, it is a HIKE from Orient (for Grandma) to Polaris--but it sure was fun!
