In full disclosure, Penny does not go to toddler gym class, which I find absurd. But she has gone to other classes and we have tromped in the snow to get to such classes. When I was little, we would have just played outside.
The toddler gym class itself is absurd. I just think of my happy childhood and it didn’t involve going to a gym for exercise at the age of 1.5 at 25 dollars per 45 minute class. We just played.
However, who knows? If we have snow blizzard after snow blizzard and below zero weather next winter, perhaps toddler gym class will be the way to go. Then I will have to say to myself, gee, I wrote haiku last year making fun of toddler gym classes and look at me now….
Sounds like you were the one getting a work out. !

Clarification, please. Exactly what is it you find absurd … the fact that Penny does not attend toddler gym class or the toddler gym class itself?
Once an English teacher, always an English teacher.
Sorry.

One empty bottle,
Placed in the stroller’s bag
Causes it to tip!

Ken, you understand the balance of the diaper bag. It’s as precarious as life itself…..
