Yesterday morning, my mom and I took Juliana for a trial class at The Little Gym. It's a gymnastics class for infants and toddlers, 10-19 months (they refer to that age group as Birds). They have all different kinds of mats, parallel and uneven bars, beams, a parachute, music, singing, running, and so much more. Juliana really enjoyed the class, because she got to move around a lot and climb on all of the mats. She even got along with some of the others kids, but certainly had a lot more energy than them, except for one little boy who have her a run for her money!! My mom and I were more exhausted by the end of the class than she was...she probably could have kept going for hours.
Next, they run around in a circle and sing different songs.
We got some free time to use the equipment and Juliana did really well on the balance beam!!
This was the parachute and the kids had a good time. Juliana enjoyed being in the middle...center of attention as usual!
This is Juliana jumping, with my assistance. 
I think we'll sign her up for classes in the near future since she had such a good time. It will also give her another opportunity to interact with a group of toddlers.
After the class, a light lunch and a stop at Tanglin, we headed over to Suntec City so I could show my mom the Fountain of Wealth. In 1998, the Guinness Book of Records added it as the largest fountain in the world and it has held the title ever since. In Chinese culture, water is the symbol of life and wealth. The inward pouring of the water in Feng Shui represents riches pouring in. When you walk out to the middle of the fountain, there is a sign that tells visitors what to do. First, you touch the water and then you circle the smaller fountain three times and make a wish. This is believed to bring good luck.
Both my mom and I took a turn at doing our laps around the fountain and making our wishes. Who knows, maybe they will come true!! Wouldn't that be nice?!
