Baby Sensory Bouncer

We've been going to baby sensory since Issy was around 3 months old. From the very beginning she loved it. Okay to begin with she just lay there and stared at the ceiling but i'm sure she was listening. All the lights, sounds, smells, experiences and the lady that runs it, Tina, makes it just that little bit more special for the babies. Isabella as she has grown has certainly benefited from it, she now sits right in front of Tina for the starting song and jumps up and down, even though she's not quite 10 months and you would think jumping would be out of her reach yet, trust me it isn't when she's there. It's such a wonderful thing to see this little baby bouncing along to the music, you can't help but smile and so does everyone else, it really does make you laugh.

Today we had water as the theme, this is how it works you see, there's a theme to each week. I sometimes try and take some of this stuff home to do, but as you can imagine it just isn't the same. Issy sitting by the couch in the front room, me blowing a few bubbles at her, isn't quite the underwater experience we had at the class, still she doesn't seem to mind and I think I'm doing something amazing for her.

I fear we will have to stop going soon Issy really is getting too big for the class, in that I mean the attention span not her pant size. She is starting to be more interested in the baby on the floor next to her or the toy behind us than Tina and the activities which have been put on for her sole enjoyment. It was easy when she wasn't a crawler but you do spend most of your time, scurrying across the floor after a bottom for most of the time. This would be okay if I was a teenager but mum ain't no spring chicken and the springs in the back ain't what they used to be.

So, we continue on for some time yet with this the highlight of the week. It really is something that makes you feel good about yourself as a mum and that you are doing a positive thing for your child. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who has a small baby. It really brings them out of their shells.

I haven't been asked to write this by the way this is purely my point of view and Isabella's of course :)
