<p>My girlfriend Beth and her daughter had been going for some time-and they just loved it!&nbsp;&nbsp; So we went a couple times...but I decided I needed to wait a bit till he gets a little older.&nbsp; (The class we went to-they had a rule that the kids couldn't stand up with the wooden sticks they were using.&nbsp; And of course-my little <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">booger&nbsp;</span> dollface had issues with listening to that simple rule.&nbsp; After he NAILED me in the face with the stick-that rule made TOTAL sense to me.&nbsp; It hurt!!!!)</p>
<p>Now that the summer is over (((SIGH))) I have to find something for us to do on the days that Boston isn't in school.&nbsp; So, just as I was about to pull my hair out stressing on finding options... a friend of mine sent me information about their classes.&nbsp; What an awesome reminder!</p>
<p>So... I signed up for a session.</p>
<p>It's really a pretty awesome school for kids!&nbsp; Boston is only 2-so we'll be in the toddler class..but if you live in the Philly area and have some older children-there are some FUN classes!&nbsp; Music &amp; Voice lessons, musical theater and even ROCK BAND sessions!&nbsp; How fun is that?!?!</p>
<p>They have centers in <a href="http://www.musictrainingcenter.com/facility/directions_ardmore.htm" target="_blank">Ardmore</a>, <a href="http://www.musictrainingcenter.com/montgomeryville/" target="_blank">Montgomerville</a>, <a href="http://www.musictrainingcenter.com/facility/directions_conshohocken.htm" target="_blank">Conshohocken</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.musictrainingcenter.com/marlton/" target="_blank">Marlton, NJ</a>.</p>
<p>Classes start September 14th... so I'll be sure to share with you more about our experience!</p>
<p>If you sign up for classes be SURE to mention seeing it here!&nbsp;</p>
<p>((You never know...they might have something fun in return!))</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

My. Gosh.&nbsp; So seriously?&nbsp; Yeah.&nbsp; We got the awesome opportunity to check out Yo Gabba Gabba in Philly on Sunday.&nbsp; I wasn't too sure if Boston was going to handle it and it actually turned out to be a total blast!</p>
<p>He did lose concentration a bit...but he came to his senses! ha.</p>
<p>We were given front row seats... which is AWESOME at a rock concert-but with a two year old??? Um. Not so much.&nbsp; Matt &amp; I loved it cause we were 'up close'... but Boston?&nbsp; He got scared to death a couple times.</p>
<p>I can understand why.&nbsp; I mean...these characters are TINY on TV..And on stage?!?!? <strong>HUMONGOUS!&nbsp; </strong></p>
<p>(((I doubt I spelled that right. Oh well.)))</p>
<p>All in all, we had an awesome time.&nbsp; But if you have little kids-I suggest getting seats back a bit... and in the middle.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Be sure to come back to<strong> WIN TICKETS HERE FOR THE GABBA SHOW IN HERSHEY, PA!!!</strong></p>
