Organized Sports.. Not in the Cards (Yet)

Shay and Patrick were able to participate in the local YMCA's sports sampler nights aimed at 3 to 4 years part of July and August.  Each Tuesday night they were introduced to a new sport- either soccer, basketball, football or baseball.  To say the least, neither toddler was very interested, the instructions given by the coaches were very hard for little ones to follow, most of the kiddos spent their time picking grass, running or trying to leave and I ended up playing in most of the "games".  Not quite how we intended it to go, but I am glad we experienced it.  My favorite quote from Shay- "Mom, I don't like this. I am sweaty and want to go sit in the shade".  An athlete in the making.  Next time back go to gymnastics (which both Patrick and Shay loved) or swimming lessons.


This speaks to the typical atmosphere-
a little confused and not too interested
