Hellobee Boards

We were your attypical immigrant family. There was no money for activities. I really wanted to learn how to play the piano. So I'm hoping at least one of my kids want to learn.

We're not planning on signing her up for any activities until she's old enough to ask to do something, the exception being basic swim lessons. I took basic swim lessons which I enjoyed. I did other activities as a young child: ballet, gymnastics, cheer clinics, violin, piano, and quit them all. I much preferred and benefitted from free play and time with friends through church events, and traveling with my parents. So I will be more focused on taking L to church and traveling and free time to play and explore especially outside when she's young. Then she can dabble in things one or two at a time until she finds one she wants to stick with.

I did horse riding, choir, girl guides, badminton and played the guitar. I tried a few other things, but those are the ones that stuck. LO does gym and we will probably enroll her in swimming and dance when she's a little older. I don't really care what she does...but I kinda hope it's not horse riding, because that's really expensive!

As a child I did dance, basketball, volleyball, art lessons, piano lessons, swimming, violin lessons, Awana, and Sunday school.

DS is currently in gymnastics and we'll enroll him in swimming as soon as he can get in a class. He'll do sports and an instrument down the road, too.

Not all of them. But I will get her in swimming lessons and there was a day art camp I went to and worked at that I will enroll her in when she's older, it's where I really got into art and photography.

Other than that we will see what she likes.

I did: Swim lessons, Dance (Ballet, Tap, Jazz), Softball, Art classes, Brownies/Girl Scouts, Band (Clarinet)

Hubs did: Swim Lessons/Swim Team, Cub/Boy/Eagle Scouts, Band (Sax/Clarinet), Baseball, Soccer

We already signed LO up for swim lessons and around 3-4 I'll look at dance classes if she's interested (I work in the industry so i know of some really good schools in our area),
Other wise what ever she's interested in that we can fit into our budget. Hubs would really like her to do scouts.

Not really? I grew up in a highly religious family, so most of my activities revolved around church. We're atheists, so we won't do any of that. We'll pretty much let her try things that she's genuinely interested in. We won't force anything or push her too hard, but we'll support what she wants to do as long as it's reasonable.
