My little girl, Annalise (5yrs old soon) will start Ballet classes next week.  It has all been her idea, she wants to be a little ballerina.  I guess I did all these things when I was her age so I know she will enjoy it like I did.

It's not something I would like her to be very serious about and do for years to come.  I know there is a lot of pressure in that industry, especially on self-image being very light weight etc.

I would like my children to try lots of different activities.  The thing is trying to do only one or two at a time.  There are so many things to get involved in that the mums end up being that taxi driving everywhere to these clubs and classes.

When Josiah is a bit older, I would like to get them involved in something together.  Our local homeschooling group does Jungle Gym which is a bit like gymnastics but easier.  Also a local church does Boy/Girl Guides like scouts.  I did something like that with my brothers at a very young age.  It was great, going camping with Bible teachings too.

Like I said, lots you can get involved in and it all costs money.  I like my playgroup, $3 for the whole family even if you have 4 children, bargain.

Bye for now.... Lisa
