We Love Gymbo!
Derek and I went to our very first Gymboree class today and it was AWESOME!!! There were about a dozen babies there that were Derek’s age and he had so much fun! It was 45 minutes of activity. The “Gymbo” puppet came out and greeted each baby personally and Derek gave him a big smile [...]
