My Gym

For the past couple of months, the kids have been taking a class at My Gym. They have had a lot of fun and get super excited when we tell them it's time to go to "the gym." The hour long class starts with circle time, followed by free play for the majority of the class with different special activities each week, and ends with another circle time. 

Myles likes almost all of the activities, but his favorite thing is the ball pit. He loves to stand on the edge and jump in over and over. He thinks it's hilarious to bury himself or Sydney and then pop out. Sydney loves the trampoline and would spend the whole time on there if we didn't redirect her to other things. It's funny, I thought Sydney would be a circle time rockstar, but she is one of the worst! It's not that she doesn't understand what's going on, or can't do the activities, she just chooses not to. She'll sit with us and at least doesn't try to run away anymore, but she does not get excited about the songs, stretches, games...nothing. To be fair to her, she is one of the youngest in the class, and just has a strong little personality. She does, however, know exactly when it's almost time to get stamps on her hands (at the end of class) and runs to be the first.

Myles on the other hand is great at circle time and has gotten so much better each class. He has some practice with this from already being in school, but we are so impressed with how he has learned to follow along with what the teacher is asking the class to do. If we do this again, he'll move on to an independent class with no parent participation. We did the class with our friends and their son, so it's been a fun way to see them, and to spend time with our little family!
