I decided this summer when Elizabeth started preschool in the fall that Grant and mommy needed an activity to do together. I had taken Elizabeth to Music Together classes when she was little and she always seemed to enjoy them. I guess that was my first mistake...assuming that because one liked it, surely the other one would! It is a ten week class, 45 minutes long, once a week. The first class went great. He sat on my lap and hardly moved, a real angel. Second class he was much more comfortable and began moving around a bit, but I was still able to manage it. There is a no running policy during class. Third class...he knocked a kid over (by accident, but he was running) as I go to collect Grant, I in turn, knock a kid over. The Paulis took out two kids in 30 seconds, my cheeks were on fire. I dreaded class 4 and 5. He was sick for #6. Number 7 I bribed him with food and the promise to look at the river for boats after class. This class went pretty well. Class 8, he was wonderful. It became time to sign up for the next session....tempted, yes, I think he was maybe starting to enjoy it....but looking back at the beginning classes...no not signing up for the next session. Class 9....he was wonderful...clapping rhythms, attempting to sing. Class 10...so good! We were sorry to say good-bye, but we will be looking for a different activity that is a bit more physical.
