Our oldest is four years old. So far, he's been in gymnastics and soccer. He was so proud when they had an exhibition meet for gymnastics and he got four blue ribbons AND a medal. Our little Olympic star...he was training at the same gym as Shawn Johnson after all.
We decided to change it up a bit and enrolled him in soccer. His first class he was upset as, "The other kids were cheating because they were trying to kick the ball in the goal too!" Yeah, our first born. He's never really been in competitive sports...was a bit of a wake up call.
While he does seem to enjoy soccer, we're putting him back into gymnastics. It works out better for everyone schedule wise and he seems to enjoy it a bit more.
Ask your kids what THEY want to be involved in. Just because you played football, volleyball etc might not be what they like. I never would have thought that Liam would be in gymnastics, but he is. And he likes it. Now I'm not going to be like the other mothers who are already talking Olympics for their 4 year old girls, but who knows? If he keeps enjoying it, I'm not going to hold him back.
