Last Sunday I signed both Junior and myself up for a trial session at MyGym Tampines. We previously went to a trial class at Leap Schoolhouse but it wasn't to my liking. I felt that they were limiting free play by cramming too many activities into one session. I liked the location though.
My colleague recommended MyGym, so I decided to give them a call and sign up for a trial. I've set aside playgym classes for Husband to have some father-son bonding time, but I forgot that he had another appointment during that slot so I went ahead with Junior instead.
How did Junior find the session?
He seems to love it! Well love the place at least. He doesn't listen to instructions yet which is a bit of a problem but we'll get there insyaAllah. Once he's satisfied playing with the slides and balls and explored every nook and cranny (he even wanted to go into the store!), I think he should be able to sit down and listen. At least I hope so!
I was a little bit worried because on the taxi ride to Tampines, Junior wanted to sleep. He did doze off for about 15 minutes, and thankfully he woke up when I was paying the cab fare. He wasn't cranky when we searched for the building. I was a leeeetle lost. Heh. Went round the UOB building when I could have just cut through.
The moment we stepped in, Junior was so excited cos he saw a big happy playground hahaha. He was first in queue to go in (yes! That much enthusiasm!), and once the door was opened, he ran in and went into a playing frenzy. Sleep time, you say? What's sleep when you have so much to do!
There were gym stuff like trying the monkey bars, balancing on barrels, playing with hoops, and also sitting on a swing hung from the ceiling.
Oh! And puppet play! Junior went right in front to watch because he's familiar with the story, hickory dickory dock. There's also a cat in it and he made his funny cat sound ahhaha.
There are the typical singing sessions, intro and byebye songs. There's also one thing I like, separation play. All kids will gather round in the circle and play with each other while parents sit further away. Good for separation anxiety. At first I was amazed at how Junior can sit and play, but after a while he ran off playing on his own -_-" Sigh.
Can you see him? He's in the turquoise-grey-yellow polo-T which he chose for himself while we were shopping. Husband says he has good taste. Haha
My view from afar :) I saw him "drinking" from the cup hahaha.
One of the teachers said it's normal for him to be running around, slowly he'll get used to the routine and follow.
When the one hour session was up, Junior didn't want to leave! Haha! There were some other toys in the waiting area so he continued with those while I signed him up for a 10 week term yay! I hope he will improve his socialising skills, learn to share and listen to instructions.
