It's more for me than for my 17 month old! She hates childcare at the gym, so I thought this class was worth trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600226 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 19:53:57 +0000 mrsjazz 2600226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gymnastics. She started taking it for the first time this summer -- we're going to enroll her for the full year. She usually does dance class but she likes gymnastics.</p> <p>I wanted her to try soccer but she's not interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600224 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 19:35:10 +0000 tinyperson 2600224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're debating between swimming, skating and gymnastics. She starts full day kindergarten in September so I don't want too overload her (she's only 3.5) but she's been quite brave in the water this summer so I don't want to lose that momentum and is like to try to take advantage and get her actually swimming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600199 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:31:00 +0000 maddyz 2600199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 17 months and had been doing music together for almost the last year. We have also done swim class, but not right now and will add a gym class in the fall. It's nice for him to have something to do with the nanny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600111 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 10:42:21 +0000 Mae 2600111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom just signed my daughter up for swim classes. She's going to keep her out of daycare one day a week and take her. I think when the weather gets cold we'll also sign her up for gymnastics on the weekends. It will be the first for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600088 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 08:46:40 +0000 BananaPancakes 2600088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to try a group sport for the first time. 😬 T-ball. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600077 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 07:51:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2600077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'll be 2 next month and will do a pre-preschool drop off 2 days a week. I'd like to sign him up for some kind of a soccer or sports class one day and something else another day, probably a gym type class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600075 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 07:37:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2600075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old is starting preschool two mornings a week plus we are moving so that's probably going to be it at first. But I would love to sign her up for another dance class, she did one last spring and loved t so much, every morning she asked if we were going to dance class. So if I can find something similar in our new town that isn't too expensive I will definitely do that again. </p> <p>The baby doesn't get any special classes just for her- she just gets carted around to the toddler's stuff. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600069 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 07:22:47 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2600069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've done swimming every week for a year now, right now the almost 3yo is in the "advanced" daddy and me class, and the almost 5yo does private. Also signed 5yo up for a running program and just decided to do another season of soccer - he's in a summer program now and really starting to like it. I'm hoping it won't be too much with kindergarten starting too!</p> <p>@lemondrop: I ❤❤❤ those itty bitty hockey pics! Looks so fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600064 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 06:43:29 +0000 bushelandapeck 2600064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swimming and gymnastics for both kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2600051 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 00:29:08 +0000 lemondrop 2600051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try out lots of things, I really try to expose my oldest to many different experiences because of his autism. I try to limit us to no more than 3 activites a week because it gets too exhausting even just working part time, especially with school starting up again and other therapy sessions like speech and doctor's visits. </p> <p>We do swim lessons year round for both boys at a family run swim school. We belong to the Y and do their Itty Bitty Sports sporadically as it fits into our schedule, our youngest will start this soon too. </p> <p>We tried Kindermusik this summer at the community center and it was a good experience to try, but I didn't love it. The teacher was very zen and didn't allow us to correct the kids and tell them to sit or give up instruments if they didn't want to. </p> <p>We just started a different music class with a music therapy group through our community center and I love it! The instructor was magical and both boys paid super close attention to her. I plan on continuing these indefinitely since my oldest needs music therapy and this is the only affordable option for us right now. </p> <p>My oldest just started hockey, it was a stressful start, but getting much better and is really good for both of us- motor planning and doing something challenging for him, and me giving up some control and letting him struggle a bit. Today was our third class and it was finally a smashing success! Our local pro team does a free 4 week hockey trial for 4-8 year olds to see if they like it before investing in equipment. We're going to start a parent/kid class in hockey this fall for my oldest and pull my husband and youngest into it during the winter session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598874 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 17:30:16 +0000 MoonMoon 2598874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'll continue swim classes and My Gym. We've been toying with the idea of gymnastics classes, but since he starting preschool, it might not be a good time to introduce another new thing. </p> <p>I'd love to find an artsy crafty class of some kind down the line too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598813 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 16:12:52 +0000 LilSprinkles 2598813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be doing soccer this fall, and possibly a mixed sports class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598736 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 15:10:30 +0000 youboots 2598736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I think gymnastics and Music together on the same day. Maybe swim but with 2 mornings of daycare that would only leave one morning a week for play dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598730 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 15:07:01 +0000 caterw 2598730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are waiting to hear back from a couple preschools (her birthday is after the cutoff so we are last in the list). If she gets in, we won't do anything. If she doesn't, we will do a storytime and either art/gymnastics combo, tball, or ballet depending on what days they are offered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598699 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:52:32 +0000 chopsuey 2598699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swim, piano and tennis lessons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598698 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:51:56 +0000 jhd 2598698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do Kindermusik classes once a week and story time at the library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598694 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:49:50 +0000 fancyfunction 2598694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M does ballet and we may do another session of cooking classes, which she loved! I want to start taking H (5 months) to storytime and maybe find a baby gym class like M did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598683 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:46:15 +0000 Smurfette 2598683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gymnastics on Sat mornings. I asked her if she wanted to do ballet at day care and she said no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598548 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 13:27:44 +0000 Madison43 2598548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swim lessons! I wanted to start in June but our summer weekends were too busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598536 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 13:15:47 +0000 Truth Bombs 2598536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soccer and Ballet.

She's moving up to the toddler class. She's been in the baby class since the start of the summer session. It's so fun watching her do forward rolls and try to hang on the bars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598490 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:40:10 +0000 katsupgirl 2598490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this today. I'm considering tennis but it will depend on time of day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598485 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:36:20 +0000 whiskers 2598485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 - Dance<br /> DD2 - Kindermusik</p> <p>I SAH and I need an extra activity each to get them out of the house more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598476 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:30:21 +0000 sunny 2598476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will try to do piano, tennis and swim but that might be a bit ambitious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598469 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:25:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 2598469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dance! And possibly swim </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598440 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:56:39 +0000 twodoghouse 2598440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know yet. The last day of summer soccer they were totally into it. The rest of the season was like baby torture. I'm not sure if it's worth trying again so soon. We might just stick with our signing classes and story times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598397 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:12:06 +0000 catlady 2598397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gets piano lessons through her preschool (once per week right before school starts) so we will just stick with that. </p> <p>LO2 is due in early December so I don't want to commit to too much right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598395 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:09:17 +0000 PinkElephant 2598395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm torn. DD1 is doing her first year of full day, every day school (pre-k), and I feel like additional activities might be too much. I wish she could do ballet again, but we will see. She'll do special classes like gymnastics, yoga, dance, and cooking as part of her school day.</p> <p>DD2 will do two mornings of a drop-off twos program, and a mommy and me class (TBD). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-be-enrolled-in-any-activities-this-fall#post-2598393 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:06:07 +0000 LBee 2598393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, soccer! I am so excited! </p>
