The Little Gym has free introductory classes. I decided to try it out since it was a rainy day. Jack loooooved it! It only took him a short time before he gained the confidence to participate in everything they were doing. He was a very good listener and tried everything. He even hung from the uneven bars and did a "twist"! (hard to explain, but I guess it's good for their brain :) There was a point where we were all on a mat that inflated as we were sitting on it and then the kids were supposed to walk on it and then jump off the side. Jack was a little hesitant to do it, but got into it as long as I was holding his hand. There were shakers, songs, balls, free play, "flips", balance beams (flips ON the balance beams! Which he went on a second time. He thought he was pretty tough :) and of course, BUBBLES! His favorite!
(I don't have pictures of the activities I was participating in)
While the man was blowing the bubbles Jack kept shouting "WOW" and when he was done he clapped and yelled "YEAY!" It was cute because none of the other kids did, and it made the "teacher" laugh :) At the end, when it was time to get in a circle, there were still some lingering bubbles. Jack got up from the mat and ran around yelling "BUBBLES"!
That's SO great!!! Kaylee and I did the free class a few months ago and she hated it! LOL! We're now going to Great Play which is similar but less circle time and tons of obstacle courses and mats stacked up strategically for climbing. I'm glad he likes it so much!!!! He's such a good boy I think he'd like anything you did with him :-)
