Gymboree Classes
Today we began our first session of Gymboree play & music classes. We signed up for the Level 3 Play & Learn class, which fit best with our schedule. The class features play as well as some songtime – there is, however, another class focused solely on music.
The level 3 class focuses on teaching babies to play together, to learn balance and co-ordination, and to enjoy interactive play. Some of the activities we did today included circle time songs, sliding side-by-side with another baby, passing the ball, climbing ramps and doing some walking against this fantastic inflated tube – it was the most Aiden had ever walked!
Some of the class became overwhelming for Aiden – lots of other babies can sometimes make him want to go off on his own to explore. That’s ok though – the class was very open to letting babies do what feels best for them.
