Ziv goes to Gymboree


Procrastination is irresponsible. Kevin and I decided to put an end to our dalliance and enrolled Ziv to Gymboree. This was a promised made long ago to Ziv, way before Chinese Lunar New Year and no action since then.

A typical conversation:

Kevin: Are you sure you wanna go Gymboree? HFMD, you know?
Me: Yeah, wonder how safe are these places.

Kevin: Are you going to hold responsibilities if he contacted HFMD?

Me: Hell no.

Nevertheless, this morning Ziv woke us up at 10am and we gave Gymboree a buzz and within seconds, Ziv’s first lesson was fixed! We didn’t opt for the trial lesson cause, we thought, so be it, just engage Ziv in some interactions with other babies will be good.

Verdict? The first lesson was alright, some singing and physical activities. It allowed me to gauge the development of Ziv since, the class is mainly for infant between 6 to 9 months (Level 2). So far, Ziv can catch up with his ‘classmates’ since the consultant told us, it was better to enroll him when he is able to sit unsupported, stand with support and crawl for the Level 2 class. Of course, the courses do not come cheap. Membership alone already cost us $50 and the total cost for 12 lessons cost us a whopping $358! Not a lot of money, but to spend on some play group IS expensive. What to do?

During certain part of the lesson, Ziv was chuckling and he was extremely chummy to his classmates and wanted to touch them. He was usually aloof and afraid of strangers.

See how he enjoys the class...

Digress a little, I had a rejuvenating spa on Saturday, everything seems so copacetic until I fish out my mobile phone and saw a sms by my boss it reminds me of the stress at work. Hate it.
