I took AJ to Gymboree when he was 14 months...My friend has a son who's 1 week older, so we signed them up together...

We ended up meeting alot of great moms and kids, and kind of formed our own "group" from there...almost 6 years later, we still get together from time to time, and we've all become really good friends!

I was wondering, what are those classes about? and what's the price?

Not that I really see myself taking two babies to a class, lol.

Oh my gawd It's soooo fun! Basically singing, touching and really helping them with development. I think it was $140? for 6 weeks? Not sure my brain doesn't work much anymore

If you wanted to you can preview a class for free.

Shiloh has been in level 2 Gymboree for about a month and a half now and we LOVE it!! Since I stay home with her I thought it would be important to get her involved in something like that where she can socialize with other kids! We have such a great time there! And during the summer ours offers a special where you can bring your kid to any and every class for their age at no extra charge since it's so hot outside! Shiloh and I go at least 3 times each week

regarding price, we pay $65 a month for the first 6 months, then it drops down to $55/month for the next 6 months, and after that it drops to $45 and stays there.

Level 1 starts at newborn to 6 months. then it goes up from there.

It would be great at her age.

Hi, so we went to "The Little Gym" and I didn't enjoy it! The reason is that E resisted the walking (pulled his legs up), the rolling (arched his back), and FORGET hanging on the bars. He's just not even close! I'm going to try Gymboree.

It was quite a workout for me however carrying him the entire time through the motions of doing these very grown up things!

The best part was meeting two people with boys E's age and same stage etc...and getting phone numbers so that was good.

E was definitely the least cooperative in the class but then again it was their third time and our first....I was totally unprepared for it to be such hard work!
