s/o gymnastics and other activities

what activities are you going to enroll your DC in?

I would love to do gymnastics or dance when she is young, but I want her to also be invovled in sports as she gets older.  My parents never really had us do sports or activities, and I wish they had.

    My niece started dance when she was 2. She is now 5. I will probalby do the same. They only have class 30 minutes per week. My niece always had a blast.  I was in sports growing up as well. I will leave it up to DD as she gets older if she wants to play bball, teeball, etc.

    The girls do gymnastics and music (musikgarten) classes.  They like both a lot.

    There is a local T-Ball "league" kids can join as early as 3  that we may have him do. He is definitely doing karate (probably at 4 or so). Probably piano lessons, as well.

    When he is older I would like him to play lacrosse and tennis, but whatever he wants to do.

    I did just about everything as a kid -- piano, ballet, gymnastics, swimming, soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, track -- and while I wanted to do it all and loved doing it all, I wish now that I had focused on swimming and running because I could have been really great at them.

    Because of my experience, I'd like to expose DD to as much as possible and then encourage her to continue only what she really loves. Of course I would love for her to do my favorites as a kid: ballet, swimming, and soccer.

    When she's little, probably just dance lessons.

    When she's bigger, whatever she wants. I did dance growing up and loved it.

    Abby is taking ballet and gymnastics right now.  She loves them!

    She's done a lot of different classes here and there - art classes, music classes, etc.  We love to try new things with her while she's young!

    DD has been in swimming since 8 months, and gymnastics since this fall.  She will start dance in the fall.  When she is 3 we will try soccer and/or t-ball and see how that goes!

    My older DD does soccer at daycare once a week and she loves it so when she is old enough, we will do a community soccer class.  She just started a gymnastic class at the Little Gym this weekend and seemed to like it so we shall see.  I would love to do a dance class since she loves to dance and I was in dance/cheerleading when I was little but it gets so expensive with all the costumes and such so I'm not sure.  I will be doing the same classes with my younger DD when she is older.

    We just signed DD up for Kindermusik which will start next week.  I feel ill at the thought of the cost, but we think it will be a good experience for her -- and a good chance to get out of the house once a week before it's warm enough to go to the park!
