MY Gym

Max began attending a Gymboree class after a friend of his had her 2nd birthday party there in February of last year. He had a blast and made a few friends, although it took him a while to catch on to the group activities.

A few months ago, it became clear to me that he was outgrowing Gymboree and needed some place that had more challenging activities and more exciting ways for him to CLIMB!

We tried Little Gym, and it was great for the first week or two, but soon lost its luster. When he began crying to leave as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, I decided it wasn't a good fit for him. A few weeks later we tried My Gym, and it was a big hit! We've been to two classes now, and although he still is reluctant to sit down to properly participate in the group activities (no surprise to anyone), he definitely seems to have found a good climbing outlet.

Last night we met up with Alex after work and participated in one of the "Family Play" times. Since I didn't have to spot him myself the whole time, I was able to get some good video of his excitement. Enjoy!

How fun!!! One day he'll pay a lot of money to do some of those same exercises at 24 hr fitness.
