Sept 18 marks the last day of Johann's Gymbabes class. We signed up for this class when they offered 24 sessions for their usual rate. Johann was 11mos old then.
As a parent, I never regretted enrolling him in this class. This is where he learned to explore the different activity stations. This is where he became aware of his love for balls. He was exposed to "small people" other than himself. Most importantly, this is where he learned how to walk and run on his own.
I'd like to share with you some unforgettable Gymbabes moments:
1. Johann sitting beside the dog (painted on the wall) and kissing the dog hello.
2. Johann bumping into classmates while running around.
3. Johann turning the U-shaped block into a ride-on horse.
4. Johann kissing the teachers goodbye after every session.
5. Johann cutting classes (running around while everyone else is enjoying their massages or reading their books)
I never thought that Johann's little achievements (like crossing the bridge, climbing the ladder and going through the tunnel) could bring so much pride in a first-time mom's heart. When Johann was handed his last reward (in the form of a sticker) and his certificate, I realized that it is not his achievement alone.
We are exploring the possibility of enrolling him in the next level. I guess it would have to wait after Baby#2 has arrived. But, for now, we will miss the slides, the tunnel, the songs, the playmates and the teachers.
