My Gym Waddlers Class

I recently enrolled Will in My Gym (Waddlers group) classes recently. You can take a free class at My Gym to try it out, so it's worth going sometime, especially on one of those rainy days when you can't get to the playground. They have a jungle gym, a slide, a medium sized trampoline, a bunch of different gymnastics stations, and Will's favorite, the pit full of balls. The class is well organized and they have different activities that switch every 10 minutes or so, so it is well suited for the toddler. At the beginning and end of class they have "circle" time where they sing songs and rhymes and have follow-the-leader type games. Will seems to be one of about two kids who can't handle circle time. He runs around the gym while I try to get him back to the circle. A few weeks after our free class I decided to sign Will up for a month of classes. I was somewhat disappointed that it was a "Columbia House" type deal where once you sign up, your credit card will be charged each month for the month's membership unless you fill out some paperwork to cancel the membership. For fear of having a house bound toddler through rainy season, I signed up anyways.
