Tumble Time

We have been getting quite busy these days!  I am trying to get Park as involved as I can in activities to make sure he is getting as much social interaction as possible being a stay at home kid!.  I get nervous that he is not getting enough of that and sometimes as much as I hate it, he gets bored just hanging and playing with Mom!

We had been attending the local Little Gym which he seemed to love.  I loved that he was around other kids and that he was getting outs TONS of energy.  We happened to go for the first time during member appreciation so we were told we could come and try the classes for free multiple times. Only problem is that the classes for his age group all seem to fall during his nap time so there was no real consistent schedule for us there.  Sometime we could make it, sometimes not.  Then they have an 830 Saturday class, which is just not something I could commit to.  Mama needs her sleep!!

But we have found a solution and at a way lower cost!  Our local community center offers tons of classes for kids Parkers age.  Twice a week they have an hour class called Tumble Rama.  An entire gym is set up and looks like an exact replica of Little Gym with all the bells and whistles and even more!  What makes it even better is that there is no registering and its come and go and $5/class!

To say he loves it would be an understatement.  They really do not have a structure to it, kinda do what you want and he runs all over, climbing on anything he can and today he just screamed (his happy/excited) scream the entire time!  There are tons of kids his age there and it is so fun to watch him interact with them.  His best friend Rocco goes to this class too, which makes it even more exciting for him!

I am so excited we found this class.  The timing, the set up, and the smile it puts on  P's face make it perfect!!

Between this class and story time at the library P now has 3 busy days per week!  Which makes for really nice naps...which make this mommy happy!!

Here are some pics from his class today (iphone pics so not the best!)!





yes...he is smearing his drool on the bounce pad!
