YMCA...

The kids and I went and tried out the kids gymnastics program at the Hamilton YMCA this morning. Afterwards Ben said that he really liked it (I could tell he was having lots of fun during it), and Joanna liked it too, trying out most of the various activities.
The great thing is the class is a combined 2-3yrs olds class, so both Joanna and Ben can go to the same one - which solves the problem of having to get them to sit on the sidelines if they were in individuals classes. Obviously Joanna is at the lower end of ability because she is so young, but the element of 'no fear' that she has in her personality when it comes to trying new things, helps to bridge the gap.
So I think we are going to do it for the term. It will be great during winter when it is wet all the time - 1 hr the kids will be able to run around, climb, jump and be all physical.
