[ - ] Am I lame. 4 yo ds is in school 5 mornings and I do no classes. Some of his friends take 1-2 a week and some (well one) as many as 6. In the summer he will be in camp all day all of July and I will probably sign him up for 1 class for August. He loves going to the playground, playing in the water, day trips, etc. How important are these tumbling, art, cooking classes at this age? he can do all these things and actually went as a guest to friends tumbling class and did all and more than the other kids. PLus, I can't afford all these classes. 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Not at all. I sometimes feel pressured to enroll my 4 yo in classes beyond her 5 day a week preschool when I hear about dc taking karate, music, spanish, ballet etc. Frankly, she has plenty going on with preschool and day camp and I would rather have the freedom in our schedule to experience music, art, outdoor play on a more spontaneous basis. During the summer, free concerts for kids at the park, playdates where the kids dance to music, doing crafts at home. They have plenty of time to take music lessons or pursue a sport once they are in grade school. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I love J. Crew and I really like their kids clothes line, but all those fake Sag Harbor, Block Island, Fisher Island, East Hampton, Nantucket, etc. t-shirt are so freaking pretentious. It's one thing to live or vacation in those places and buy stuff like that from local shops, but to buy them from J. Crew to pretend you are part of that world is just really gross. ok, vent over. 17 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I guess I don't. It was actually more of a disappointment with J. Crew and there so obvious attempt to portray a certain lifestyle.
