Elle has been in dance since she was 2 years old. She's now almost 11 so that's like 8 plus years. But the last couple of years we just have watched her loose her love and interest in it. Which I'm not going to lie has been hard for me, because I love to watch her dance. This last year we finally decided to go a different route and try Cheer. I didn't think it could get much worse but let me tell you…it did. Every Wednesday night somehow Elle got sick. She would have headaches, stomaches, you name it. It was really starting to drive Toby and I crazy. She'd get all tear eyed and quiet and sometimes even call us from cheer to come get her. She had committed to the team so it wasn't like when thing get tough we would just let her quit. But honestly it got to the point that she was miserable and it wasn't worth it anymore. We let her pray about it and decide whether she was ready to make up the money that it had cost us and choose something else to be engaged in and to help her stay active. Tennis it is!
and what a GREAT decision we made. She is SO happy while she is playing! She was smiling ear to ear her first lesson and couldn't wait to go back. Her grandma Debbie played in high school and her Grandma June played in college so it runs in her genes. I really am praying that she continues to love this sport and that she works hard at it and that it is something she can really focus on and be excited about. So far so good!
