Gymboree Look at Me!

We enrolled Slade in the Gymboree Play & Learn class for kids 16 - 22 months. He loves it! The class description is: Figure out how the world works and become a competent problem solver through games that uncover patterns and sequences. They have a ton of equipment for the kiddos to play and explore on, but Slade just wants to shoot hoops. It's hilarious! Every now and then if he hears music; he'll put his ball down for a sec, start clapping and dance. Then goes back to b balling. He draws a crowd and distracts from the lesson at times. Let's face it; boys like to play basketball! Many of the boys end up joining him, but their parents will grab them and make them go back to the group. I don't do that. Slade should decide, right? That's what their instructor told me. I agree. He goes once a week and has the option for Open Gym twice a week. He gets mad when we have to go... :-(
