JWT Gym Trial Class - 13 Sep '08

Due to change of plans, we decided to bring ashlynn to join caden in the JWT Gym trial class. It was located at East Coast, pretty close to our place. We reached there to be received by the friendly staff. I will say that the place looks impressive. Very well equipped with activity stations that were colourful. There were 4 babies there for the trial class, including ashlynn and caden.

I can't really remember the sequence of activities, as there were too many and very fast. The class began with introduction of the babies. The trainer demonstrated some massage techniques. There was singing of songs and rattling of toys. The babies got to sit on a rocking toy, swayed on a gym ball, sat on a swing and even got to go on the "flying fox". They were also rolled on a huge cylindrical cushioned thingy. They got some hands on activities like playing with colourful balls and cloths.

Some differences between BJG and JWT Gym:
JWT Gym focused on physical activities while BJG had more mental activities.
JWT Gym definitely invested in more infrastructure.
BJG was more structured with the trainer leading the activities, while in JWT Gym, many activites were carried out on our own.

We went for lunch together after that and bid farewell from there.

Dinner was with ah ma and ah gong to celebrate ah gong's birthday. Ah ma and ah gong must be delighted to see that ashlynn does not cry now when carried by them.

Before the class. keke... mummy is actually a vainpot who likes to take photos. So I find all opportunities to pose with ashlynn.
The class started with some simple stretching exercises.

That's daddy's hands massaging ashlynn
Ashlynn on the rocking animal. Dunno what it is.

Mummy again! keke...

Daddy's turn to pose
Ashlynn wants to pose too!
Ashlynn wants to be a dancer. She can sit quite well. But can suddenly flop down without warning.

Caden sayang ashlynn
Is that the way you reciprocate by pulling caden's hair?

Engrossed in shaking

Ashlynn doesn't really seem to enjoy the class. Maybe she was sleepy as she fell asleep during lunch. Or maybe she is not so much a "physical" baby?
