Recently, we got Avery a membership at Gymboree. Twice a week, Sara (Avery’s nanny) takes her for play time with other kids. On Saturdays, Avery takes a more structured class that includes climbing, sliding, singing, dancing, and chasing bubbles.

It’s only been a few weeks but we’re already seeing Avery paying more attention and participating more often. She’s still prone to breaking off on her own and doing her own thing now and then.

I hope that’s always the case.
