We started a few weeks after James started school. There were only three moms and three kids for the first class and I was worried that I signed up for 8 classes of extremely awkward mom-dance while the kids basically ignored us. But the second week, a mom and grandma joined and our group of 5+5 felt about right. Also the second week, the kids got more into it since now they sort of new the place and faces.
Second week- Bubble time!
Meeee!
It's like a rave in here!
Rushes mommy.
One thing that's funny, is that even though class is only 1-hour long there is a snack time towards the end of the class. By week 2, the kids could appreciate that snacktime takes place at the table so they led a coup and sat down for goldfish before it was time. Their collective bargaining strategy worked and they got their snack early.
Victory tastes sweet and salty.
Then I had to miss the third class because I was on
my bronchitis deathbed. When I came back for the fourth class, only the girls showed up, so Olivia, Cora, and Miranda busted out the fairy wings. One of the moms never came back. So we're back to the teacher, 4 other adults, and 4 kids.

They also do artwork at Mommy and me! No, not really, they're under 2 years old. The moms do artwork and maybe the kids kind of smudge it or ruin it or something. Miranda and I worked on these together.
