Begin channeling Barney..now!

Yea out-of-house yet still indoor activities!

Yea freedom to climb and monkey around till you collapse in a heap!

Boo infectious sing-song for every freaking move you make.

Yep we joined a toddler gym and we are loving it! Well, most of it. The first day my sister, Steve and I took the kids together. The kids had a blast. We had fun too, but it is a little disconcerting how quickly you find yourself selling out to the chipper singing that really isn't a song, more of a narrative of what you are doing, or should be doing.

When we first walked in the instructor started ringing her bells and parents eyes began to dilate and voices rose in octave and the singing began. I looked at my sister. My eyes said eeek! This is weird. I said under my breath to her "I am not going to sing". Declaring to her that just because I am a parent now doesn't mean I also drink the Kool-aid. I looked over to Steve who was trying to settle himself on the floor into the circle. He seemed pretty cool with it smiling like he knew it would be this way. I settled into the circle and a incredibly short 10 minutes later I caught myself trying to sing along, even making my own verses to the same sing-song. Somewhere along the line I must have had some Kool-aid! I took a glance at Auntie Liela and yep....she had a red mustache too.
