Going Their Seperate Ways

I've been fighting it...since birth, really. In the past I've made the girls do the same activities. This is the first year I'm letting them each do their own thing...it was time! Baileigh is doing year round swimming. She swims on Tuesday and Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:00. After being on our neighborhood swim team she decided she really enjoyed swimming and wanted to improve.

Mckenna is continuing with gymnastics...she is on a preteam and practices on Tuesday and Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:00. "Preteam" essentially means that the next step is competitive gymnastics...something I have mixed feelings on based upon the time commitment and price.

Brooke asked to switch from gymnastics to ballet. Thankfully there is a small dance studio in the same location as Mckenna's gymnastics and they had a ballet class from 5:00 to 5:45 on Thursday evenings...smack dab in the middle of Mckenna's gymnastics practice.

So I'm in 3 locations at one time...the pool, gymnastics and ballet. Its a crazy night, but its working so far and we're able to do our activities in two nights.

Gracious, you are one busy Mommy! Glad you are encouraging them to do their own thing though :)

Doing the same thing here in Altus! Glad you got yours down to two nights. They look like they are doing what they enjoy!

Good job, Melynie! That is great... how cool that they each love a different sport, and that it is working out! Btw... I was trying to figure out what was in front of Baileigh in this photo. I thought she was pushing Morgan in a stroller, but thought, "Man, Morgan's little legs have really gotten LONG!" LOL! I'm now seeing it's a backpack...
