My daughter, Meredith, turns 6 on Saturday. Unbelievable! Well, as a homeschooling mom, I really want my kids to be good readers and good in math, for some reason. I guess it's because those are the two subjects you start with in kindergarten. So Max came along, started school and is so good at reading...and math. What a smart boy! Then Meredith came along. It wasn't pulling teeth to get her to do her work. Her attitude was fine. She just didn't care. She'd try, and then say, "I give up." It wasn't a bad tone of voice or anything, it was very matter of fact. It hasn't worried me. She is only going into 1st grade. But I wonder how she'll do in the future in school.
But I don't wonder how she'll be on a playing field, or roller skating rink, etc. You put skates on that girl and she is OFF! On Saturday we picked up a pair of rollerblades at a yard sale. She put them on and she was all the way down our driveway before we even had time to tell her to put her helmet on. Then today, she not only had those rollerblades on, she was ALSO using the scooter at the same time. It was a riot. I need to get a picture of that.
Each kid is good at something. Mer will be the athletic one. She even looks the part. We're going to try her in soccer in the fall and then baseball in the spring. I think she'll do great.
