Tennis Lessons


My youngest's new "life plan" (and yes, I AM quoting) has expanded to include tennis lessons.

For two weeks she asked me multiple times per day if/when I had registered her for the one hour lessons offered by our park on a weekly basis in the summer. In typical fashion, I put it off until the last paycheck possible. But finally I officially enrolled her for a week of tennis lessons, which started this past Monday.

Sunday morning she says to me, "I have outfits planned for Monday and Tuesday, but I will probably need some new tennis outfits for later in the week." She is 7.

Sunday afternoon she assures me, "Poppy says he has a racquet I can use for now, but if I really like it, we'll need to get me my own."

Sunday night she cried for a half hour about how nervous she was. Remember now, she badgered me for two weeks for this lesson.

This morning she asked me to sign her up for the other two weeks ahead before our vacation. "I love it, mom. I think by tomorrow I might be the best in my class. Yesterday I hit 2 over the net, but today I hit 10!"

7!!!! I'm just sayin.....
