Princeton, Here He Comes

This week starts the Fall semester for most children's classes in the city.  We, like every other Manhattan family, have researched different classes and activities for Cooper.  Don't laugh!  Many parents already have their infants on waiting lists for Preschools.  

When it comes to choosing a facility and the type of class, we do have extra issues to take into consideration.  Clara's comfortability is a key element.  Cooper is also getting into a pretty fabulous schedule with eating/sleeping/playing that we would like to preserve for as long as possible.  After much searching, we are quite happy with our decisions.  

Cooper will be taking an infant "gym" class at The Little Gym at a location that is in the general vicinity of our apartment.  Maria spoke to the instructor, James, before the class to discuss Clara taking Cooper to the class each week.  All seemed quite happy with the situation!  So here begins Cooper's athletic aspirations.  




We all know Cooper strives to stand up at all times and is serial jumper, so the kid was in heaven.  The small number of kids in his group gives him lots of opportunities for attention.

What else? Cooper is signed up for a Baby Fingers class at Karma Kids Yoga down on 14th Street.  The class is a music class that utilizes sign language in their songs and play.  We are so happy we finally worked out a day/time/location that is do'able.  

Cooper liked the music, and was absolutely fascinated by all the kids in the class.  He is quite the social butterfly.

Let's see.... Princeton?  Harvard?  Columbia?  Mizzou?
