Our Lil' Kicker






Neither myself nor Patrick have a real soccer background, but Margaux asked for a soccer ball for Christmas.  She got the ball and kept talking about soccer, so we took her to one of the Lil Kickers locations in Chicago for a trial class.  She loved it!  She is now enrolled for the remainder of the winter session and we will sign her up for the spring session.  She is currently in a class with 7 boys and they are just adorable to watch.  Kindermusik is still a huge hit with her and we are looking to get her enrolled in another swim class leading up to the summer pool/lake season!  It's been a year since her last swim lesson and "motorboat, motorboat" only gets you so far!  Once the swimming thing is finished she will be trying out a ballet/tap/tumbling combo class.  I love that she is interested in different activities.  We will continue to let her explore and spread her wings to her heart's content...within reason, of course!  I still believe that some down time is important for kids and for the sanity of the parents!

It's so great that she has the type of parents who will allow and encourage her to stretch herself and discover her abitities....but most of have fun doing it.
