Lately I have been stressing about decisions I need to make about Jordan's life ex: Should she do soccer or ballet, swimming or gymnastics, piano or singing... . In reality, I know these decisions aren't that important--I mean life goes on either way, but I still stress about them.
Mike and I decided to register Jordan for soccer in the fall. She kind of didn't want to do it (she just wanted to stay in ballet--and Mike always says it was my influence that she was so into ballet in the first place--is that so wrong?!), but we thought she should try lots of different things before she decides what she wants to stick with. So now, as time gets close for soccer to start I am totally nervous. I feel like it is ME starting soccer--and I was never that good at sports. That made me wonder if we were doing the wrong thing. Maybe she won't like it, maybe she'll have real hard time with it; or was I not exeptionally "into" sports becaue I never played them as a kid?
How do you know what decisions to make for your kids? I know when Mike gets home, he will reassure me that we are doing the right thing. Thank goodness I am not doing this alone!! I am such a stress case...good thing my husband is always "as cool as a cucumber."

I totally understand Anita. But I think she'll do just fine. Dalton's played all sports available and at their level anything goes. It's really about attitude at this age, and I'm sure little Jordan has a great attitude. BTW - I never played sports as a kid and have never felt comfortable playing them, so you're probably right to give her the chance to check it out. Okay, I've written a book, not just a 'comment'. Enough.
