Activities!

It's that time of year again...activity registration. We've just barely dabbled in it so far, but in the not too distant future these fall activities will run our lives and our schedules. But for now it's all about figuring out what we want to try out and how committed we want to be. In the summer we generally have no activities so we have the freedom to hit the pool in the late afternoon if we want, depending on the weather. But the Fall/Winter we NEED stuff to do. Cabin fever will most certainly set in too early if there is not enough to do.

So for Blythe....do we do swim lessons? Gymnastics? Dance? Soccer? Based on her t-ball games, I personally think she's too lazy to play soccer. I don't think she'll run after the ball. On the bright side - maybe she won't get hurt. But probably she should try it and we can see. I think she'd be good at dance, but so far she says she doesn't want to do it. We had no swim lessons this summer, just play swimming, so I think we'll do at least a month of swim lessons.

And for Ethan...do we do gymnastics? Or.....okay, so that's really the only option for a 2 year old. So we'll do that. Oh, there are "swimming lessons", but they are the "float around in the water with your parent" lessons. And I'm not getting in. So he'll have to wait until he's at least close to being 3.

I can see how things start getting a little nuts when you've got 3 kids who are all at least Blythe's age doing multiple activities. At least by then I won't be paying for 3 kids in day care, so I'll have the money (hopefully), but probably not the time. Sigh.
