need ideas...

We have decided to put brayden in to soccer class. He is going to start playing this fall. It is costing us 85.00 dollars which is not too bad. The hubby and I started talking and we would like to put brianne in to something similar to that. I have thought possibly tumbling, or tap. I will have to do more research, but what would be a good activy to put brianne in? What ever i put her in I want to make sure the person who is teaching the class keeps in mind her delay. I am not asking for special treatment just don't yell at her cause she does not understand ( I have run in to that before GRR...)

If you have or had a 3 year old little girl what did you put them in??? thanks for the help or ideas

the rec program here doesn't until start 4 y/o. megan did t-ball & tap at 4. erinn did gymnastics & tap. they both changed over to jazz dance; neither one really liked tap (shoes were too slipperty!!). why not keep her in swimming? :)

we have thought about that, but i think that both kids like that.. So i know if we do that bray will be upset cause he can't go in the pool

brayden is a big boy now. i think if you explained to him he gets to do soccer & bri is going to continue with swim; he'd understand. maybe i'm wrong. :)

We are putting Amara into ballet in the fall thanks to a generous birthday present from her grandma and grandpa. We wouldn't be able to do it otherwise! The class we will be enrolling her in is a combo ballet and tap. Tumbling is fun at that age too. No matter what they are doing at this age, about half of them won't listen, half won't do what the teacher is asking. Most teachers should be used to it!
I remember when I was coaching soccer for 4-6 year olds. There was one girl who would run away from the ball and 4 other kids would be picking flowers at some point during the game. 2 or 3 more would be dancing on the field or playing in the dirt.

I know i should not laugh, but i am picturing that in my head. I know brianne loves to dance. I thought i heard that is good to start them in ballet. thanks for the help "=)

I did the coaching of girls U6, too. They were so much fun to watch and teach. We had one little girl who would always forget and dribble the ball the wrong way.
It was much better after they put the little ones on smaller fields. It cut down a lot of the flower picking.

Our rec department starts tumbling classes at 3. The YMCA has pre-ballet classes for 3 and up. Both programs should be good for active children. There isn't the pressure to succeed that others have.

If I had a three year old little girl, I would put her in batons. I was a twirler. I've seen parades where those little ones didn't have a clue to what they were doing but they look so gosh darn cute. LOL

Does a 3 year old really need to be "in" anything??

I honestly don't know, we waited until brayden was 4 1/2 to put him in soccer. I was not competely sold on the idea
