Aston and I went to Bangsar Village to check out Gymboree last Thursday. It was a pity that when we arrived the class just ended not long. Nevertheless, we got the schedule and price and I registered Aston to attend a trial class today.
I was so excited for him today. I was hoping that he won't be too overwhelmed during the class. After feeding Aston his lunch, mummy quickly got ready and packed his diaper bag and off we went to Bangsar Village. The traffic was pretty chaotic due to the rain but nevertheless we arrived just in time for the class. A staff checked Aston's temperature and gave him a sticker with his name and stuck on his back. I quickly put on my socks and put down the bag and I sat Aston down on the mat. There was only one baby at that time attending the class so Aston was looking at him and exploring at the same time. Just less that 5 minutes the class started.
The class started with a welcome song with hand movements. I must admit I was pretty uncoordinated with Aston. I think Aston must be wondering what am I doing. Anyway, throughout the whole song Aston was looking around especially to the baby next to him. After the welcome song, we continue with another song which I can't remember but this time it involves both the hands, legs and hugs. I then have to lift Aston up on my shin and move him up and down and side to side. I must say pretty good tummy work out there!
There's a socialising time where parents suppose to get to know each other while the child play with some balls. Today's topic was family tradition. I couldn't think of any and just came up with bubble bath! Yes... I said that my mum used to give me bubble bath when I was young and so this tradition is being carried on with Aston till today. I thought to myself maybe this is not very suitable for Aston because he did not show any signs that he's enjoying himself neither did he cried so I guess he doesn't mind? Anyway, when the instructor took out the beach balls and asked them to kick it to their friends Aston was a champion. He just kick and kick and kick. Everyone was so amazed with his legs. So I guess he's beginning to enjoy the class?
Mummy started to get tired after carrying him to do the kicking but the lesson must go on. We moved to the slide to encourage Aston to crawl but he just refused to move. He rather be in a sitting position instead but after some encouragement he manage to move just one or two steps forward. During this time, another baby joined the class. After trying to crawl up, we then moved him over to slide down. Then we moved to the opposite side to encourage them crawl through the tunnel but Aston did not moved an inch while the other baby friend was already crawling in from the opposite end. We ended up at the swing, then on a "log" then we went back to the center and that's when the instructor took out the parachute and blow bubbles which Aston is the only one trying to catch the bubbles.
Overall, I think Aston will enjoy it more once he starts to master his crawling skills. As for me, I think I can treat it as my workout for the week. So, I got sucked in to purchase their package which cost me RM2000 for one year but this also includes music class for him. I think Aston really like music so I'm looking forward to bring him to his music class maybe this Sunday or starting next week.
