We have a great Monday morning routine going - spend most of the morning at the Waukee YMCA. Sam has Tiny Tumblers, Mia has swim lessons and then I get to work out! I discovered this "open gym" option for child care, for kids 2+. Rather than going to a "nursery" type of setting, the kids can go to the gym and blow off some steam! Sam isn't quite 2, but since he can hang, they've let him participate. It's a win-win -- exercise for me, exercise for the kids!
Mia is doing great in her swimming lessons and she loves it! We did private lessons over the summer and it really helped to overcome her fear of the water. These lessons are with 4 kids, so it is not as advanced or intense, but I think it is helping to keep her acclimated to the water during these long winter months!
My biggest challenge is trying to keep Sam out of the pool while watching Mia. He stands on the side and yells "sissy, sissy" about a hundred times!
Unfortunately Sam would rather be in the open gym with the adults shooting hoops - I think he has basketball in his blood, like his father!
Sam can really dribble the ball well!

The kids are obsessed with stickers!
