We just signed our youngest up for swim lessons and for soccer. We will see how it goes though. I am being optimistic but I am not sure how he will do. We also do library story time, but I don’t like to have to many “have to” go to activities. I don’t want to overload him

We have baby/toddler time at our local library. They sing songs and clap and play with play silks. Other than that, there isn’t a whole lof of interaction for my baby. But we homeschool so she has 2 older sisters who are constantly here and playing with her.

My son has done gymnastics since 18m — he is just 3 years now and I’m glad I did it. He does really well and I enjoy him getting the structure. I have looked into getting him into a music class. He really loves instruments but the music classes I have found are more as you described, sitting in a circle singing and clapping. When I told him we were going to try out a music class he proceeded to tell me he wanted to try “a violin, and cymbals, and a tuba…” so it wasn’t what either of us hoped for.

I have taken him for swimming lessons and I may do that again as well — especially since we now live on a lake.

The only class type setting we’ve done with our toddlers is Story Time at the local library. We have 9 children, so they have plenty of interaction here at home.

I used to go to music class but decided I don’t like paying for something I do at home. He does go to Bible Study Fellowship with me but he’s not in my class. I love it and he loves it

My daughter is almost 17 months old and I don’t know if I could imagine her grasping the concept of soccer right now but it might be cute to watch. I just found a Mommy and Me class in my area that I want to take my daughter to, I think it is a big play area for the littles to play together

Does momma/baby yoga count? My university offers yoga classes for new parents and babies, and I’m really excited to take my daughter. Other than that, I don’t see us being big into classes until she’s older and requests something herself — I like the idea of inviting other babies/kids along on our adventures, but I’ll admit that I’m not really into the structure of formal classes. Then again, we’ll see what happens!

I have a friend who offered me a discounted price for Kindermusik, so we put our son in. It has been a great activity for him and I love getting to spend that time with just him once a week. I am starting to think about singing him up for a sport or swimming lessons this summer, but we’ll see.

At one of the first Kindermusik classes there was a mom there with her baby, who was definitely less than a year old. She said she also had the baby in swimming classes. Then she made a comment about making sure her daughter had a social life. It seemed like such an odd thing to say. Go to the park or have an occasional playdate–that’s plenty for a baby. But then again I’m pretty introverted.

I will echo Christel. Storytime at the library rocks.
