Funny, how you never really know what your kids are going to take an interest in. Since Ava has been about 2 or 3 we started trying lots of different activities. Tried dance… didn’t like it. Tried Karate… they called me to come get her 20 minutes in because her crying was disrupting the class. She was upset for days over the “loud man yelling and hitting things”. Every time I make her go back and always finish out at least a month or two to instill those lessons about commitment and finishing what you start, yada yada. So, when she wanted to do soccer… I was a little worried that I would be lecturing and forcing her out the door to practice and games every week.

I was wrong! She loves it. The first day, she came jogging back in and said, “That was sooooo much more fun than I thought it would be.”
