Kinetic Kids Gym

As I mentioned in the last post we had a tour yesterday with Kinetic Kids Gym.  When we walked in the door Noah started putting his arm out directing me to go towards the gym area.  We couldn't get him in there fast enough!  Once we got his socks and shoes off he was able to go play and he had the best time!

Today on the other hand...didn't go so smoothly.  It was not a problem of whether or not he enjoyed the gym, because he thoroughly enjoyed it!  It was that is was a class instead of open gym.  Trying to get him to sit through the instructional time was a nightmare.  He would just scream and wouldn't sit with the other kids, but you do have to keep in mind...Noah is an only child, never been in daycare or had nearly any interaction with other children...so this is a very new concept.  We are going to sign him up for the class so that he can learn a little bit of structure.

The class starts with a little bit of free play and then a bell rings and they all are supposed to go sit on the mat for an instructional minute or two...then they do an obstacle course....then instruction...free time...instruction....course and so on.  So about half way through the class Noah started to do the obstacle course and I went from completely frustrated to such a proud Mommy!  He had so much fun once he got the grasp of the course...now hopefully throughout the next few sessions we will get down the instructional time too.  We will just have to see!
