Toddler Gymnastics

Anyone had any experience with the toddler gymnastics offered through St. Mary's Parks and Rec?

Looking for something to sign my 2 year old up for to get him around kids his own age, get used to taking some direction and burn off some energy.

If you're a SAHM, the program is great. I had a hard time finding a class for my little ones that was in the evenings. I had a great daycare provider that wanted to take her little girl so she took mine as well. But, I doubt that you'll find many little boys in the class. My girls were 2 of 20 kids in the class of all girls.

There are tons of SAHM groups around that do play dates. There may even be one in here.

My dad would get drunk and throw me and my brothers. That was kind of toddler gymnastics. I can almost here him now "tell that nosey school nurse you fell". Don't get me started on swimming lessons.

I'm not a SAHM. They have a few evening options that would work for me, though.

I am a member of one of the local mom groups and I do take him to the playdates that fit our schedule. Looking forward to warmer weather!

We did do swim lessons last year (at CSM) and that's something I'd like to do again, just at a different location. I kind of want to look at doing it up at the Prince Frederick pool because lessons are usually short, we could go play in the kiddie pool before and/or after the lessons to make the trip more worthwhile. I need to check out times/dates!

I emailed Calvert Parks and Recs. last week about the pool across from the hospital and haven't heard anything back.

Maybe...pop's was a player. I remember him introducing me to his girlfriend at the diner, giving me a roll of quarters for the pinball machine then threatening to choke me if I told mom. Good times....good times...
