Thanks for all your Gymboree well wishes. Noob Baby wanted me to thank all you awesome mommies (and maybe some daddies) for your support. Hugs are on the Noob.

Well, her new class went off swimmingly! She didn’t get stuffed into a tunnel, and the only diaper wedgie she got was from me. Sucka!

Things were pretty similar to level 2. A little less singing and more exploring. But, Level 3 did introduce us to a new never-before-seen activity. AIR LOGGING.

I was like… OMG! OMG! (rubbing hands together) This is going to be so terrifying entertaining! Bwahahah!! (taking out my camera)

I was picturing this in my head:

Well, I guess there’s some fear of liability or something like that, so it didn’t turn out quite like that. Instead, we lined up our noobs side-by-side behind this big cushiony log, and the noobs rolled said log in unison from one end of the room to the other. Some noobs ate it big time. As you can imagine, they were left behind like any good soldier.

I mean, I guess it was sort of interesting-slash-fun. But it seemed more like manual labor to me:

Which got me thinking… if these toddlers are doing what those elephants are doing, we’re onto something. There’s got to be some legal way to harness all that toddler energy, right?

Look out world, we’re gonna be turning some profits at Gymboree.

Noob Baby is graduating. Already. Since she started walking, it was decided that she should be switched to the level 3 play group at Gymboree. So today we will be attending that class.

I’m wondering what to expect, since we’d already figured out the whole routine in her other group. Somersaults? Cartwheels? Roundoffs?

And now that she’s one of the youngest in the group, does that mean she’s a freshman? Will she get dumped upside down in a trashcan? Or stuffed into a tunnel? Maybe the 13-month-olds will give her a diaper wedgie.

Or, just maybe, it will be the same exact thing as before… except with faster toddlers. But the toddlers will actually be able to run out from underneath the parachute instead of flail around helplessly as the wind vortex sucks them to the mat. Boooooo! Where’s the entertainment in that?

Yeah, I’ll be back with a full report.
