About six weeks ago, I wrote a HowTo Guide for Using the Gym’s Babysitting Service. Although I did not consistently go every single day, I stayed pretty consistent and just kept working on it. Finally at around the magic 2 week mark, my son started to really enjoy going. Now six weeks later, he actually asks me to go every single day. He runs in as soon as we get there and, you will not believe this, but he actually cries when he has to go!! He is very excited to see me when I come to get him, but then he starts to protest and doesn’t want to leave. I never thought I’d see the day.

I used to be lucky to get a 20 minute workout, now I can go for an hour and a half (not that I do) and my son will be perfectly fine. The other day I went in to get him and he was no where to be found. In the back of the room, they have a big playscape area. Picture a McDonald’s playground with the enclosed slides and climbing structures that you can’t really see inside. Well, out comes 4 boys, somewhere between 8-10 years old, one by one…….and trailing right behind them was my little 2 year old. Ha! Looks like he’s been hanging with the big boys. No wonder he has so much fun there!
