Finding Something to Do

For years, we've been trying to get Joie interested in an extracurricular activity.  She never wanted to do anything!  We suggested all the things Livvi did:  dance, gymnastics, soccer, tee ball, tae kwon do, etc.  She was too shy to try anything.

For her annual physical around her 5th birthday, her pediatrician told Jo she had to pick something because she was home schooled.  Well she did!  She picked soccer.  There is an indoor facility close to our house that offers Kiddie Kickers for her age group and she had a blast!  They meet once a week for 45 minutes and run around, learn the basics of soccer, have fun, and play a short game.  Each session is six weeks.  Her first one was Feb 17, 2012 and she is on at least her 6th session (there were some lulls in there as some classes didn't have enough kids signed up).  Kiddie Kickers only goes through age 6 (which she turned Dec 22, 2012), so we'll see if she wants to move up to a little more competition.  So far, she has no interest in that.
