We were doing My Gym on Mon and Weds but that will change to just Wed when the new term starts and we do a playgroup on Thurs. Sometimes I will take her swimming or to the park depending on weather. We have playgrounds in the bunnings and the chinese markets so if I need an indoor playground I can go there. Otherwise sometimes its chipmunks. Our playgroup is on hold over the school holidays but we have decided to go to one of the girls houses anyway lol. We were doing that anyway but one of the other girls is joining us. Our playgroup is only 4of us so its small and we treat it more like coffee group lol

We try to get out every day, as much for him as my sanity :-) We meet up with other mums at least once a week, go to parks, the playground at the mall etc, but am currently trying to find some sort of playgroup/mainly music activity as well. I find it quite hard to go along to those things and talk to people!

We have playgroup on tues,Mainly music on Weds,Coffee group on thurs and Monday and Friday,weather permitting I try to take them to the park or something.
I like to keep busy,for one thing,I find the day goes quicker,and for another,he gets cabin fever if hes cooped up at home all week,hes been sick the last few weeks so hasn't been to his usual activities and I really notice a difference between the weeks he goes,and the weeks he doesn't.
The weeks he goes,hes a lot more settled and relaxed at home,the weeks he doesn't,he is bored and restless. And thats with me doing lots of games and activities with him

I like to get out most mornings too. Monday's I catch up with friends, Tuesday is playcentre, Thursday playgroup, then Wed/Fri either catch up with friends or there's another playgroup if I feel like it on Wednesday or playcentre on Friday. So usually 2-3 playgroup type things and then 2-3 friend catchups at either mine or their places or the park or wherever. Then afternoons we usually chill out at home, go for a walk, maybe go to the shops or things like that.
I'm dropping playcentre this term and thinking of giving mainly music another go. DS didn't really get into it when we went in the first term of this year and just wanted to cling to me, so we switched to playcentre but I find the 3 hr session is too long for me and him. Not sure what we'll do once the new baby arrives though. Probably not a lot for the first 6 weeks or so, then maybe 1-2 playgroups and some catchups with friends.

We ussed to have Anti natal coffee group, but that fizzled out at the start of the year. But other than that we dont' do alot. We shop alot and we'll stop at the differnert ride on's around the place. LOL I take them to the park when its fine and we're not doing anything else.
We did go to a manly music seesion the other day and it was fun, 20 minutes of music and dancing then a sit down for something to eat (all provided) for 10 minutes or so then they got to play for 20 minutes on bouncy castles and stuff. All for $3 per child a session.
So we might start that next term.

Has anyone tried the Baby Gym's etc? Thougt that might be interesting... Ava is not into the Mainly Music and too big for wriggle and rhyme, too cold for swimming and playcentre was too cliquey.... so that was going to be my next thought? Anyone found anything reasonably priced??

Does your toddler go to playgroups etc?
