Does you LO attend any classes?

Now that summer break is almost here I'd like to find some classes to take LO too, is there something you do with LO that you have found that you would like to share? I have done swimming lessons but with a new baby this can't happen b/c I can't swim with both. I'd like to try gymnastics but you need to be 3. Is there something else I could look into?

We do a music class with Addy.  She LOVES it!  We also just finished a "My First Sports" class with her.  It was also a big hit with her, but we will not be doing that over the summer since we will be outside playing a lot and going to parks.  We will continue the music class though- its definitely a highlight of her week!

We don't do classes like that but we do have her in a pre-school type of program that is 1x a week during the school year and 2x during the summer.  She loves going to school and is thrilled to wear her "pack pack" when she goes.  It is adorable.  It is called Parent's Day Out and run through the church I attend but open to the community.

Also, like @vballgirl78 said, check out some music classes.  It sort of sucks that your gymnastics doesn't start until three, most of ours are at 1.5 (not much gymnastics, mostly playing but still...).

And for swimming, when do they change from mommy and me to solo lessons?  Ours was baby swim until 2 and then they are in groups of 3 without parents starting at 2.

Madison goes to a tot r cise class once a week. It's free and consist of music, dancing, fun exercises, and snack. This is free and run by a local school district. She just finished up 'leapin lions' which was a combo of song, simple sport activities which often required parent help, and open play at the end. She loved it. I have an 8 month old so it was difficult having her while I was trying to help Maddy with the activities but we managed! And Alexis really enjoyed the songs and watching her big sister and other kids play.

We don't have any class options in our area but our library has a story time we go to and our kids really enjoy that. I wish we had other options though.

@DaizyMay22 - we have to go half an hour away for any classes that aren't the pre-school.  Our park district sucks.

We have gymnastics class here that is Parent/Tot from 18 months to 3.  Then the regular, kid only classes start at 3.  Lucia loves it.  I would love to look for an art or music type class, but she loves the gymnastics so much we can't bring ourselves to switch to anything else.

Landon does music from the fall-spring; he loves it. They are off in the summer. He also did two rounds of a mommy and me gymnastics class, but I had to stop once I got pregnant because I couldn't keep up with the lifting! I am thinking I will put him in the alone gymnastics class this fall.
