Andrew and I went to one of those baby gyms today for a "free trial class." The classes are divided by age. Four to ten months are in the 'Bug' class. The 'Birds' are ten months to nineteen. They decided that Andrew should be in the Birds because he's more mobile and advanced than the kids in the younger class.
Well, he puked twice on the playmats and got beat up by the class bully. Seriously, this kid walked up to him and punched him in the face, knocking him over. I had to play it off like it was no big deal, but I wanted to hang that little brat up by his toenails.
Yeah, I don't think we'll be going back. It's okay though. I'm not sure they'd want us back anyway.
On a side note, why the hell did my kid puke twice while we were there. I think he's spit up twice in the past three months, and he puked twice there. Dear sweet baby jesus, I hope he's not getting sick. I've got 10 more days until DH gets home.
Yikes. That's the same age division of the place by me too. I decided to hold off for now because she'll either be way ahead or way behind the other kids at the moment. Sorry it sucked for you.
As far as the punch in the face goes, he's fine. He was scared more than hurt. The other mom was mortified. Actually, I think it was his nanny. I think most of the people there were nannies. She talked to the kid and gave him a time out. Once he was sprung from baby jail, he came right back to Andrew and started pestering him again. What the fuck?

It was The Little Gym. I'm not going to let one shitty kid ruin the experience. It's pretty damn expensive and I'm not sure if it's for us, but don't let that keep you from giving it a shot. Hell, the first class is free.
