My First Day At Gymboree Class

I was so excited to start this class with Kyle. It is a 45 minute class once a week that helps Kyle with coordination, socialization and many other skills. He has never been around kids his own age, except his friend Ella that we don't get to play with that much. So, I figured this would be a great way for Kyle to explore and for me to meet and socialize with other moms in his age group. We had our first class today. I think it was a tad overwhelming for him, but I think it would be a great class for him to be able to learn. There are only 5 other kids, 4 boys and 1 girl. They are all walking and have been doing this class for a while. He watched and played with the balls, and even crawled up on the rock wall. I was proud. He is also getting his 3rd tooth and it seems to really bother him, so he was a little fussy. He also woke up so early this am that he was ready for his morning nap at 8:20 this morning, so he really needed to rest before this class. It is a very steady class. The teacher moves from one thing to the next quickly, so it may take a few times for Kyle to get into the swing of things. Over all, I really think that he will enjoy it. The teacher said it is overwhelming for kids the first few times. I can't wait to take him next week and see how he does. We will definately get a good nap beforehand! He was exhausted after class today! :)

Meeting a milestone!

Well, I woke up this morning and went to get Kyle only to find the little turkey about to stand up in his bed! I walked over to him and up he stood! He was soooo proud of himself!! So, I shot some pics of him today standing up so that I could share this wonderful, proud moment! I got tears in my eyes. My baby is trying to be a big boy!!
