Chaos

No, not the Hadron Collider. You'd think so, wouldn't you? But this morning, we found something MORE chaotic, faster moving, and more dangerous to the human race.

Toddler gymnastic class.

45 minutes of running, jumping, hanging, and shrieking. And that's just the adults. Class is apparently a term used very loosely, as the poor teacher attempted to have even a few second together to explain activities and the majority of the kids just ran pell mell around the gym with their hapless parents running after them, ducking under and over equipment and clambering over mats. 

In any case, there are some benefits:

1. the child is worn out and will nap soon.

2. he had a great time.

3. I got a work out too.

But dear Lord. 2.5? too young for these kinds of things.
