Yeah, she's been in dance for 2 years, swimming for 1 and a half, does gymnastics at her school, and only has 2-3 playdates a week, so we thought it was high time we added more to her schedule. I mean, we can't have anyone be bored, right? (I am being a total smart ass, by the way.)
Well, Millie's only on her second tennis lesson, but it's already been quite the rollercoaster ride. Last week, at her first session with Coach Debbie, she had a perfectionist's textbook reaction to not being awesome at something while doing it for the very first time. You know, pouting, stomping, and eventually crying, screaming, and blubbering. However, after a personal training session last Saturday from Bobby and moi, Millie is back on the rails and GUNG-HO about tennis...as long as she can wear pink, natch. That bad attitude turned completely around and my Peach actually hit the ball over the net SEVERAL times today...while SMILING. What a world of difference from last week, it was! More to come on this adventure, but I wanted to share this little Hipstomatic gem from today. God, I love my kid.

(05.08.10 @ 09:01 PM)I love, love, love this picture!
(05.07.10 @ 11:24 AM)Tell Millie we can all play at Padre! We have a court by our house and we hit the ball around. No formal lessons, maybe Millie can teach us!
