Just curious as to what activities/classes you have your children involved in? Please share!
My little boy is only 2 years old. So right now, our only activities are:
* Mommy 'n Me Music Class through Music Together (Like Kindermusik) - Once a week
* MOPS program - (I go to a get-together thing, while he goes to child care for 2 hrs -Once a month
* Playgroup - Meet A least once a month or so
I am playing on joining another Mommy 'n Me Class this summer.
When he's a little older, I would like to do swimming lessons and sports. I really would like him to take piano lessons too but won't force him.
Just curious what everyone else does!

Well, I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old, we really don't have them involved in anything officially. They have a play date every friday afternoon, and we are heavily involved in our church, so every thursday night and Sunday mornings and Sunday nights they are in their sunday school classes, also, the teenagers (my hubby and I are the youth pastors) come over every wednesday. OUr plates are pretty full right now, and we don't want to add any more, as there are often weeks when we only have one or two nights off. My oldest will be starting Preschool this coming August/September and it will be 2 or three hours every morning, when we start that, I plan on taking my youngest to story time at the library, but other than that nothing else. I really think it depends on how busy you are, and I don't think you should add classes just because. I think kids and parents all need down time, and at your kid's age, I wouldn't do much more yet. Good luck to you! Enjoy him while you can! (:

When my children were that age, I was in the MOPs group, but mostly I did crafts with them at my kitchen table, we played at the park, we did what they wanted. Now that they are older they are in sports, just be careful not to have their plates too full, remember they are kids
