Baby Jumper Gym - 31 Aug '08

Met up with a few other feb'08 mummies (kitsune, lezy and goodbb) to bring our little ones to attend the Baby Jumper Gym trial class. Ashlynn, daddy and myself enjoyed ourselves very much. Even daddy, who were quite skeptical about attending the class in the first place felt that it was quite interesting.

We started with some introduction from the instructor in the classroom. Ashlynn was shown flashcards. Initially she was distracted, but after she got the hang of it, she was able to look at the flashcards. Ashlynn was trained to pick up a tiny toy car and her eye movement to follow the path taken by the toy car. They were given rattles to shake and dance to the song sang by the instructor. The rattles ended up in the babies' mouth most of the time instead. It was really a hilarious sight. Ashlynn was also trained on photographic memory whereby the intructor showed one picture card, then presented two cards (which were different like in photohunt). Ashlynn was supposed to pick the correct card. Instructor said the first card which the baby looked at is their answer. I supposed all our babies got the correct card. Near to the end of the lesson, we proceeded to the gym room where the babies got to do some "work out". The babies were swung about. Hmm.. I doubt I'll do that at home.

Before the lesson, I was still worried that ashlynn will get cranky as she did not sleep much before the class. Lucky she seemed to enjoy herself throughout the lesson. However, at one point she started crying as she accidently slipped and fell. It'a all mummy's fault cause I didn't grab hold of her tight enough when she got excited playing with the stacking rings. Two observations made: Ashlynn is the smalleset in size (though not the youngest) and she is the darkest! haha... All the babies were in pink, so pretty :)

Anyway, enjoy the photos. A picture worth a thousand words.

We took some pics at the bowling alley before the class started.
