Classes for a 16 month old

I am trying to figure out what if anything to do with DD in September. We do classes at the library when offered, have tried Music Together and a gym class at Orly's. I don't want anything too What is everyone doing or have you done for a child this age? What did you feel were the pros and cons of the class?

My DD loves Gymboree. They had a promotion over the summer for $130.00 for 5 classes & 5 playgyms. I can go whenever I want provided that the class is for her age group.

I would recommend those places like Gymboree, My Gym, Little Gym, Doodle Bugs, etc.

I've read about messy art classes that sound like a lot of fun too.

I also liked the description of the Happy Bookworm.

DS is only 4.5 months old so this is all based on research and not actual experience.

DS is 17 months.

Up until 15 months we did Music Together and he loved it. I didnt do it this summer because I felt he needed to be more active. He hardly sat anymore at music class. He danced around and loved the music but I thought a gym class would be better for him. We did Gymboree this summer and he loved it. Its not very structured, a lot of free play, but good to get out of the house and let him run around especially on rainy days.

Now that he's almost 1 1/2 I think hes ready for a little more structure. We are doing a Mommy and Me in September that will go to December. Its an 1 1/2 hours once a week, and involves storytime, puzzles, circletime, socialization etc.... I think it will be perfect. The plan is to go back in January without mommy which will begin the seperation.
