My Gym

I have been known to get a couple Groupons (or Living Social, etc) deals in my day, some of which turned out good, while others were a total flop. But I recently got a Groupon for a local establishment that was meant for Jack. This one was for a place called My Gym (they are nationwide), and it's literally so close we can walk there. We have now been there 3 times, and Jack knows what "My Gym" means.

Last Saturday morning was the first time Jack and I went, while Grandma and Papa watched Elijah (Justin on a work trip). We had a blast, and Jack was sad to leave. Then we went back on Thursday, and I hit the time wrong so we had to leave and come back later. Epic meltdown! But we had fun again, and again Jack was sad to leave.

Then this morning, we were careful not to utter the words "My Gym", but while Jack was sitting and eating his breakfast, he said it. He knew what was in store. This time Justin and Elijah came too, and we had fun! Can't believe it took me so long to get Jack going there, considering its proximity to the house.

They have a really great little program. The kids start with circle time and stretching. Then they do some group activities that challenge motor skills and gymnastic abilities. They end with some separation time (child from parents), clean up, and a song. We love it, and it helps us see what Jack does well at (playing solo during separation time and cleaning up), and what could use some work (sitting still in circle time, and waiting in line).
