GymBabe En !

Mommy enrols En for a trial lesson at TumbleTots.

Coz En is still cruising around, not yet walking, so Mommy registers BB En in GymBabe class (for 6months old to walking). Main thing is to let BB En interact with other bbs to develop her social skill + physical skills from the physical activities.

En's Name Tag

It's a quiet Sunday morning class and EnEn has one classmate (also for trial lesson). The class starts with some warm up exercising + massaging. Next is free physical playtime. Before Mommy and BB En zoom off to the different stations, the trainers explain the purpose for each station and what the gymbabes are supposed to learn from each.

EnEn fared well in her first station. She's to hold on to the side and learn to coordinate hand and leg and walk. Main thing is to walk on the beam coz babies tend to walk with feet facing outward. So have to train them to walk straight. Hmm abit like catwalk haha.

2nd station is an obstacle course. EnEn has to coordinate her hand and leg to move across the "pitches". BB En got mad and cry coz the trainers + mommy were each quipping at her on what to do.

"Why Mommy make me attend this stoopid class"

So Mommy brought her to this "Sea of Balls" to cool and calm her down. Gymbabes are easily tired, so after 1 or 2 stations, Mommies can bring them here to chill out.

After a while, EnEn attempts 3rd station. This is a long tunnel whereby the gymbabes have to crawl through it. Purpose is to overcome fear of darkness. Well, BB En refuses to budge. She's more interested in the rattle on hand.

An attempt at the beam station, BB En has to crawl up a cushion that was placed at 45 deg against the beam that was hedged. She is to crawl/ walk on it. Main thing is to let the little one overcome fear of height.

EnEn still refuses to move. She's shy to the new surroundings and trainers. The trainers have had a hard time coaxing her. Sing song, blow bubbles, using toys to attract her attention.


At the end of the day's lesson, mommies and gymbabes will gather at the central mattress to do some massaging to cool down. Mommies and gymbabes are tired by the end of lesson. To motivate the gymbabes, trainers will reward them with a sticker each =)

Ok... Mommy decides to enrol BB En in GymBabe class. She'll definitely do better the next time !
