Hellobee Boards

I took swim lessons, gymnastics, dance, softball, club volleyball/basketball, and track (not all at the same time.) I guess my parents really pushed the althetics, however this is very common for where we live. I LIVED for gymnastics growing up and loved going to my lesson, this was a passion of mine for many years.

Once I was older and in jr. high I joined clubs non-sports related and excelled at those, as well as cheerleading.

I did classical ballet twice a week, gymnastics, and took French (to help with the classical ballet) lessons. I loved it (well.. until I was about 14). I met one of my best friends to this day at gymnastics.
I would love to put DS into martial arts when he's a toddler. DH thinks it's silly because neither one of us is into it, but I think it's cute and teaches them so much. DH plays hockey and teaches skating so he's hoping to get DS in skates as soon as he can walk steadily, haha

I took swim, tap, ballet, jazz, swing, sewing, drums, kick boxing, photography, and soccer. I didn't take any test prep courses. I volunteered at the JCC & a hospital. Oh and Latin club only because we didn't have to do anything & I thought it would make me look smart on college applications, I'm a hobby hopper, always have been always will be! I'm sure I left some out. I think it makes me well rounded:)

Once we have a LO, I'd like them to learn an instrument, to swim, a volunteer activity, and find a sport they like. Test prep classes only if they REALLY need it. I'd love it if we did martial arts as a family! DH would totally be down!

No classes, just piano lessons for me! I studied for the sat on my own as did my sisters.

Lo will do soccer, music, art, dance, swimming.. Plus Whatever else she wants to try.

I took cooking, French, tap, jazz, ballet, gymnastics, baton, and piano. I was also on the community synchronized swimming team. And in high school I was on the cheering squad.

LO will probably do whatever he/she wants. Definitely swimming, because I think it's really important the he/she know how to swim.

I took swim lessons, piano, tap, jazz, ballet, acrobatics, gymnastics, baton, soccer, I'm sure I'm missing something.

We don't have major plans for LO. She has to have swim lessons because we're in Florida and surrounded by water. And I'd love for her to do ballet, but by that time she'll be able to make some decisions for herself.

I played soccer, did swim league and played violin/piano. Later on, I took a few tennis lessons in junior high.

I did some dance when I was little (tap, jazz, clogging). Also gymnastics until it got really expensive. One ballet class...hated it.

Piano lessons for a long time.

I played soccer forever and was in the band.

I remember taking a few ceramics and drawing classes at the local rec center.

I liked the variety I had. I had a hard time narrowing things down when I got to high school.

Dance. Lots and lots of Dance. Until I broke my foot at 12 years old (as a result of being forced over and over again to turn out past my natural abilities). I still danced a little in later life but I never went on pointe and became a lot less involved at the point. Other things I did were: soccer, swim team, swim lessons, tennis team, tennis lessons, piano lessons, cornet lessons, we did kind of like a science club with 4 other kids and we would rotate each week to be at a different kid's house and the mom would teach a lesson, youth group at church, squash, and field hockey. That's all I remember at the moment. My parents were hard core into the extra curriculars.

I took swimming lessons, singing/acting, ballet, tap, jazz, clogging, gymnastics, and piano. Dance & piano were my main two activities that continued from early childhood to teenage years. I played softball a couple of years but didn't really enjoy it. My dad coached my t-ball team when I was very young so I remember that well (I was so proud for him to be our coach, lol). I played flute in the school band...and once I got to high school I became a cheerleader and we had to take gymnastics classes, so that finished out my teenage years. Oh I also was the accompanist (pianist) for our chorus class, and was in show choir.

I would love for my future LO to play an instrument and take dance since they were things that I loved. One thing that I always wanted to participate in as a child was musical theater but I lived in a small town where there wasn't really anything like that. I would love to get my LO into a children's theater association that combines acting, dance, and singing, because I feel that it builds so much confidence from a young age. However, those are just my dreams lol, I guess LO will have to decide for himself/herself!

Oh and my husband is a huge sports fanatic so of course he wants future LO to be involved in sports. Our kid would certainly be well-rounded if they do EVERYTHING their mom & dad want them to do.
