I try to encourage an active lifestyle for the girls, although I don’t do a good job myself. We have been trying to find a sport for Samantha since she was 2.9. We’ve tried 3 sports so far, but none have really been her thing. However, each summer, we swim and swim and swim. Lots. She loves it. Because she has become so confident this summer, I decided to give swim team a go for the fall. We are already doing soccer, but I keep telling myself that soccer is only 8 weeks…
So, off we go to the pool two or three times per week. She likes it so far, but she is in the lowest group while she is working on perfecting her strokes. She can’t wait until she gets her swim cap.
Meanwhile, her sister is a trouper while being drug around to all these after school activities. She can find the best of most situations. She, on the other hand, discovered gymnastics at a very early age, and has been smitten. She would probably be smitten with dance too, but I don’t have the courage to let her do more activities yet. We still need to add piano lessons to the list.
