This month my baby girl Simone turned four months old! It's a magical time at The Little Gym for her because it means she officially gets to start the Bugs class. The Bugs are the youngest age group of children who attend classes at The Little Gym. Many parents often ask, "What the heck can you do with a 4 month old who can't even walk..let alone crawl?" I will soon be able to better answer those questions as I sit week after week in class with my little one. While I may be the owner, it's very different being on the side as the parent. As hard as it may be, I've promised that I will take a backseat in the class. I am going to remain objective throughout the class and just take the time to be a mom with the other moms!
We've attended two classes so far. Already, I see why it's so amazing class for a four month old to attend. Simone loves it! She squealed in delight when we did exercises with the arms and legs,backward rolls on the big cheese, rides on the parachute and balanced on the low beam.
The class is designed with activities in mind for a young baby to help with muscle and grip strength, balance, motor control, spatial awareness, eye tracking skills, ways to develop the vestibular system and a time to bond with other babies
That's something my little social butterfly is really good at..making friends. She's bonded with so many of my gym moms. Now, it's fun to watch how she's engaging with other babies. There are two little boys that were loving her polka dot pants. Apparently, they were pretty cool! I can't wait to share more stories about our Bugs class soon!
