Dancin’ Boogie Babies

Yesterday we went to our first Mommy and Me class.  The age range is from 18 months – 2.5 years and was from 1030am – 11:15am.  When we first got there, there were two other families that had just arrived.  Both girls.  In the middle of the floor was a blue gym mat.  I was hoping he wouldn’t lie down to go to sleep, since these are the same mats they use for naptime at school.  He instead went to the middle of the mat and started dancing around.  I was worried that he needed his shoes off, so I kept trying to get him off.  Also, it was a dance studio, so there were mirrors all over the room along with ballet barres.  He had fun looking at himself and hanging on the bar.  Some of the other kids were glued to their parent’s leg; I did not have that problem.  I was the opposite, trying to get him to stay with me.  Good thing Miss Jen knew he needed some sort of pre-class activity and took out some bean bags to mess around with.  So when everyone arrive, there were 9 kids – each with a parent.  There was one dad and the rest moms.  Miss Jen started with a good morning song and then some others that he was familiar with (the ABC song, “Itsy-Bitsy spider”) and some new ones.  We were seated for some of the songs, others involved getting up and moving.  He liked those.  There were also instruments that she laid out for all the kids to grab and move, shake, rattle, etc to “Under the Sea.”  Then, just as soon as she laid them all out, after the song, she asked the kids to help her clean it all up.  It’s so amazing how all the kids One buy cheap levitra of the greatest benefits of taking Kamagra soft tablets: These soft tablets have been widely famous to return men their lost sensual stamina and energy during the lovemaking process. 3.
