We played tennis this week and brought our kiddos with us. They loved it and wanted to play too. So we gave them a couple of racket ball rackets to try out that weren't so heavy. They loved it.
OK. Now the hard truth. Our oldest is not the most athletic kid out there. He loves to try it all. He kept right on swinging that racket and only connected with the ball twice. The whole morning long and only two hits (probably because he usually had his eyes pierced shut). But boy was he proud of those two hits. Both times he jumped up and down and yelled and asked if we both saw what he just did. It was so sweet.
Truth be told, I am not athletic either. I truly hope this little guy grows out of it. I see his deep spirit to want to succeed and I pray that he does. I am just hoping that this is an awkward phase of his life. Maybe he'll be a star athlete someday. I know he is already my little star!
