[quote=Anonymous]So we have previously only done outdoor sports for my oldest, but we have now signed up DC1 and DC2 for gymnastics.  For outdoor things, of course, I can just take the younger ones to go play on the playground or roam around in the open fields and whatnot, but this place has a poorly lit lobby that is maybe the size of my townhouse living room, which by the end of the lesson is crammed with literally 50 people.  My 2 yo wants nothing more than to run out on the floor and do gymnastics like everyone else she can see.  She loves books, but not for an hour in a place where it is so noisy and dark.  So my questions are:
1 - Is this pretty typical for a gymnastics/dance/karate place to have such an awful lobby or did we just stumble on a particularly crummy one?  It is in some sort of converted garage/warehouse type thing, although it's been around for decades.
2 - I would love any specific recommendations for activities for a young 2 year old to stay occupied in that kind of environment.  We tried a toy cell phone last week, which lasted maybe 5 minutes.  Will bring the WaterWow books next time, but that's also not going to keep her busy for long.  
3 - What age is it usually okay to drop off kids at a class rather than sticking around?  I'd love to watch them both do their thing, but I feel like that may be more trouble than it's worth.  [/quote]
