Tennis

At this stage of life for Josiah, tis the season for introducing him to various activities/skills to see what interests him and in what areas he shows potential. At least, that's what all the "experts" say. :)

So our latest "extra" was a series of tennis lessons! Josiah actually participated in this program last year as well, when he was a young 4 year-old. Now that he's 5, he's able to hit the ball more times than last year. :) Best of all, he's having fun, acquiring some knowledge of tennis, experiencing peer relationships, and learning from (and submitting to the authority of) a teacher besides me. It's really a great program--with coaches who are laid-back and extremely patient with the kids--perfect for this stage.

Josiah was thrilled to have Grandpa and Grandma come watch him play on Wednesday and Jeff on Thursday. I really appreciate Jeff taking the time off work to come watch his little/big boy!


While Josiah had his lessons, David and I got to play together: rolling cars back and forth to each other, throwing/kicking a ball back and forth, etc. Plus, David got to make friends with some other little siblings who were there, especially these two cute little sisters, Kate and Claire.
