Today I took Kayden to her first Gymboree class. While we were away on vacation in Virginia, Maica signed Eli up for Gymboree and raved about the class. So today Maica and I packed up the kids and headed up to San Clemente for Kayden’s first class! The instructor, unfortunately, was a man and instantly set off Kayden’s stranger danger. We really thought she was getting over it, but I guess not! He was really great at keeping his distance and always including Kayden in on the activities, even though she was a little fussy. There were 6 other kiddos in the class and each child was at a different place developmentally. There was a walker, a few toddlers, and some crawlers. Kayden, I am proud to say, was the only scooter!! One of the other moms told me that her daughter started Gymboree class at 13 months and also was not yet a crawler. Now her daugher, Eva, is all over the place! The mommies and babies in the class were so great, I can’t wait to go back!! We had such a great day at class singing, scooting, blowing bubbles, and playing with the parachute!! Thanks Maica for the recommendation, and you’re welcome for the $25 waiver on your next month’s fee!

I forgot my camera at home and my phone in the car. Luckily Maica had her phone to take pictures. Here is just a glimpse at all the fun we had!

You know, it really is too bad that Kayden doesn’t have many toys to play with in her own home!
