[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, honestly consider dropping classes.  Here's my take on it - I kinda hate the whole toddler/baby class industry for creating a perception that they need it.  They really don't! And they don't socialize much at that stage, especially in artificially created settings!

a. Drop story times. Read the books of your choosing, at the time of your choosing, in the position of your choosing (lying down, sitting down on the couch, whatever!)

b. Drop music classes, what nonsense! Play the music of your choosing at home, sing if you want, give him a rattle if you want, go with the flow!

c.  Every day, EVERY DAY without fail take him out to the park or playground or other controlled setting where you can let him loose for a while. Let him get lots and lots of physical activity. If he falls or eats a handful of mulch, it's not a big deal!  Once he gets lots of physical activity, he will be wonderfully cooperative and sleep much better.

d. Prioritize sleep, YOUR sleep and your physical fitness. [/quote]

Disagree.  These activities are very important.  Music Together, up through age 3, was awesome.  Our daughter, who is musically inclined, loved everything about it, and the CDs made long road trips fun. [/quote]
Oh please. They teach nothing com[/quote]
Nothing complicated and certainly nothing you cannot do at home. It ain't juliard.[/quote]

The point is to be around other kids who are engaged in the same activity. [b] And you spelled Julliard incorrectly[/b].[/quote]

So did you it is Juilliard.  [/quote]
