I just signed DD up for ballet. She starts 10/28 so my mission is to find her outfit this weekend. Anyone have any suggestions for tiny baby ballet clothes??
We also do swimming 1x/wk on saturdays, and DD goes to a weekly toddler story time/sing along at the library on Mondays.
BH watches his brother's soccer game on Saturdays. Does that count as an activity?
We'll enroll him in swimming again once soccer is over. They're at the same time, and I hated missing LBB's games.
Do you do swimming through park district or through a specialized swim school? We're thinking about making a switch because our park district is basically free swim/the same "drills" every week.

mrsmonogrammed we do it through the ice skating rink. Which sounds weird, but they also have a gym and pool. The pool is adults only, except for swim lessons. We like it because the classes are small. LBB is usually the only one in his "group class" so we pay for group but get private. BH's class maxes out at 6, but last time there were only 4 of us.

Monday is usually a play date. Tuesday is music class. Wednesday is Gymnastics. Thursday is swimming. Friday is free day where we try to find something new to do.

We go to story time at the library, that's about the only "scheduled" thing.. although its offered every day so we don't always go to the same one. We'll enroll in gymnastics next week though! I'm super pumped for that.

We don't have any right now, unless you count that he goes to day care twice a week. We did swim lessons last winter, but stopped once my parents opened their pool. There's an indoor kiddie soccer league that starts as young as 18 months near us, so I'm thinking we might try that once the holidays are over.
Right now we just do storytime on Friday and hike it baby on Monday. Planning on swim lessons in January and starting dance/tumbling next fall (I know a place that starts at 18 months but she will not be ready in December haha).
Monday - sometimes we do open jump at the trampoline park, crafts at the nature preserve, story time at the library, kids hike at the botanical gardens, childrens museum. We rotate through the different things Tuesday - MMO Wednesday - MMO Thursday - Little Gym Friday - playdate Saturday - local activity Sunday - sunday school and church

Nothing... haha.
I used to go to story time at the library, but now the girls are in different age brackets and I can't bring them both. We try to do lots of playdates, but mostly she just tags along and does whatever big sister does.
ETA I forgot about hike it baby. We do that, and Strollercize... but those more for me than the kids.

Yeah daycare?!? If I have time when I'm working from home we will go for a walk or swing on our tree swing out front. We haven't done swimming lessons and will wait till this next year for that. She gets bored and sidetracked (read squirrel!!) so easily that I'm not sure how she's really do in an organized class.

We have been going to a circle time class since it started up a few weeks ago. Jacob thinks circle time means that everyone else sits in a circle while he runs around the group.
We did musikgarten, but the instructor stopped teaching it I think, which really is too bad.
Planning on enrolling him in swimming and/or something else. He just has to go go go all the time. It's pointless to get him into anything right now though since we will be moving soon.
DD, 3, only started doing structured activities this fall- soccer & ballet. I don't plan on signing LO up for anything until he gets older except if I can get swim lessons for both of them to fit into our schedules this summer without inhibiting our flexibility to do other things too much, I would consider doing that. Otherwise, LO gets plenty of activity and socialization at daycare.

Hi missjenniebean! Haven't heard from you in a while! How are you??
We dropped out of Music Together a few ninths ago, but I think I have a few makeups so maybe I'll try again in a few weeks.
There's a Little Gym class but it's at 8:45 and I can't see us getting out that early on a Saturday. The other Gymboree classes fall during nap time. So we do a lot of walks on the boardwalk and parks around my neighborhood.
Gianna does Storytime and Music & Motion classes at the Library, a Family Music class at a music center, Gymnastics (just started last week), and she was doing swim classes but we're taking this session off and will start back up next year. And once she's 2 we'll start her in a soccer class. She seems to love it all and it's nice having activities where she can interact with other kids her age since she doesn't go to daycare.

We do story time/ Sing and Dance at the library. Organized gymnastics classes don't start until 18 months for us, but there is an open gym at one place for a couple hours one morning a week I think we may try out.
I feel like I'm hitting the point where DD is too old for "baby" things, but not quite old enough for the next group up yet, since that usually encompasses preschool age kids too.

Hello! We didn't have Internet for a while! It was actually really awesome. We are doing good over here! How have you been?
