We have had Melke in a few activities over the last few months. In January and February, he took gymnastics at the local community center. He loved going and had fun walking on balance beams, and climbing up stuff and jumping off, and swinging on bars. 
Then in the spring he took indoor soccer. It was mostly playing red light green light, jumping through a hula hoop, and building towers out of soccer balls and orange cones. His favorite part of soccer, I think, was playing with the parachute at the end of each session.
It seems like a great idea to have your kid in activities, but for most when they are under three, a parent has to be out there participating too. And that is exhausting! Managing my whirlwind, convincing him to participate "correctly", wait in line nicely, talking him into doing the activity at hand instead of running off to do his own thing, well, it's just a lot of work and turns out not to be so fun for a Saturday or Sunday morning. After gymnastics class, I would always be exhausted and feel like a frazzled mama. While I was out doing soccer, Daniel would say I looked miserable. Perhaps, I need to readjust my expectations. I am never sure if we expect too much from the kid, or if we don't insist on enough....
The boy enjoys all the activity and people, and I'm sure it's all a valuable learning experience. We are thinking about swim lessons next. But it will definitely be in the Fall, after the boy turns three...when mamma or dadda aren't required to actively join in on all the fun!
