Ayden's fun day

Ayden had such a fun day today! We attended a Gymboree music class and we both had a blast! There were 2 other babies there, both girls, one a month younger than Ayden, and one a month older. He interacted very well with both the girls and the other adults and teacher too. Once he figured out what the heck was going on (the first 5 minutes or so he looked at me like "where on earth have you taken me, mother?" lol ) he jumped right in and danced and participated in all the activities. It was a very structured class, but completely age appropriate with each activity (playing drums, rolling balls, shaking rattles, playing peek-a-boo with scarves, etc all to the beat of music) lasting just long enough to keep his attention without boring him. After each activity they would change out the instruments and that was by far his least favorite part...he did not like having his drum taken away! But overall he was a very good boy and I loved seeing him participating in a group setting. Tommorow we are attending a Gymboree Gym class and then I will decide which class I want to enroll him in full time. The music class was fun, but I think he will enjoy the Gym class more because he is so active. He took a great nap after the class and then helped me with the dishes while I cooked dinner. What a fun day!
