Being the performer that she is, we now take Brynn to classes once or twice a week where she can play and dance till her little heart is content. The classes are filled with one and two year olds running from station to station (in no particular order) doing different activities. Brynn stops in between stations to talk with friends or dance to the music. Throughout the class the instructors set up more structured activities to work on different skills in short ten minute intervals. The balance beam and pretend roller coaster are her favorites so far. They even have separation time where the kids play without the parents hovering over them. It is always interesting to see how Brynn acts when she does not think I am around. She actually seems to be more caring and loving when I am not looking. She is always very sensitive to the other kids’ feelings and does not like to see them sad. I am also trying to decide whether she is a town boy at heart or just boy crazy as she always seems to be playing with the boys. She loves to rough-house and play with trucks but is just as interested in having a tea party.
These classes have been great for her and she loves going. She runs straight to the door the second I tell her we are going to class and that all of her friends are going to be there. Brynn has definitely gained confidence and balance since she started attending the classes. She is always so wore out after class that I need to have a snack and water ready to go before we depart. Her snack is always gone before we get out of the parking lot and she is fast asleep before we are even close to home.
