Gymboree

Today I decided to check out a Level I Gymboree class. Level I is for babies 0 - 6 months. In the class we sat in a circle with our babies and subjected them to silly songs and lots of tactile stimulation.

Initially Noah seemed more interested in the other babies and spent a fair amount of time fussing and pouting--especially if one of them started to cry. Eventually he did calm down enough to enjoy playing peek a boo with a sheer neon scarf. He also liked the bubbles (who doesn't like bubbles?!), the parachute (lifted high and low over him), and the Gymboree mascot--a clown named Gymbo. Actually, much to my dismay, he LOVED Gymbo. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of clowns.


I thought it was a little expensive, but I decided to join anyway. Overall, he had a lot of fun and I think the socialization is good for him.
