Watch Out!!

Rylee is my girliest girl! She loves to dress up, do make-overs, and have her nails painted...so it was a big surprise when she recently became determined to take karate classes. I couldn't argue with her, she was inspired by my cousin's wife (a black belt) and really wanted to try it! The more I thought about it, the more I thought it might be the perfect fit for her personality. So I signed her up!

Today was her first class and she was so pumped to go! Everything from the uniform, to the studio, to the woman coach was perfect! She seemed to enjoy every second and when we left she said, "Mom, can I go again tomorrow?" Then on the way home she said, "I want to get my black belt!" I don't know if she will continue to enjoy it this much...but she seemed hooked to me!

Even though it's a challenge to have all 3 girls involved in different things (Rylee=karate, Karlee=gymnastics, and Audree=dance) I am glad that they are not competing with one another...this way they can always be eachother's biggest supporters and cheerleaders! It also makes it fun to allow each of them their own time to shine...plus it's fun to watch them each grow in something different. Being a Mom really is becoming more and more fun! I am just so proud to be a part of their lives!

I love it! Your insight into having them in different activities is great! I have just started thinking about putting my boys in karate. I think it would be great for them! She looks so adorable in those pictures. Your such a good mom!
