I am not really one who gets sad as my kids get ol I am not really one who gets sad as my kids get older. In fact, I really enjoy seeing them move from stage to stage and look forward to experiencing the next step with them. But I would be remiss if I didn’t say that getting Porter registered for kindergarten and realizing we are officially out of the baby stage has me a little sad. Big changes ahead with all three in full time school, Peyton moving to middle school and one more year of elementary for Pax.  Whew. I am looking forward to our summer together more than ever.

Where are you in your parenting stages?  Do you get happy, sad or a little of both with big changes??

AD | One of the best things about being a mother i AD | One of the best things about being a mother is sharing simple, everyday experiences with my kids.  Growing up my grandmother always said that Monday was for red beans and rice because it was wash day. Our family has carried on this tradition that Monday’s are for red beans and rice and family. Each Monday we make it a point to sit down and have a family meal together. One of the many reasons I love my @mignonfagetltd Red Bean and Rice necklace and Red Bean dangle earrings is it reminds me of these special dinners, my family and my love of being from the greater New Orleans area.

Our Summer in Junior Tennis

The boys thrive in sports and we participate in our share of team sports throughout the year.  Around Mandeville it seems like the majority of organized sports take a short summer hiatus and come back in the fall.  I continually look for something new and exciting for the boys to participate in during the months of June and July.  Junior Tennis just seemed like the way to go.

This year we decided to enroll them into the Junior Tennis program at Pelican Athletic Club.  Having played tennis in high school I was excited about getting them into a sport we could potentially play as a family.  The Junior Tennis program starts as young as 4 and there were several weekly options for us to choose from.  We stuck with one day a week to get them started and see how they liked the sport.

The first thing I will tell you is that they take this program for the kids as seriously as they do the adult programs.  From the first lesson the instructors were working with each child to develop correct form.  They also were teaching them the proper tennis terminology.  Each lesson they separated the class into smaller groups and would work on one skill per station.  This meant that my kids were learning forehand, backhand and serving principles at each lesson.  We love this way of teaching for our boys.  We do not put them in sports unless they are learning fundamentals and how to play the game correctly.

At each weekly lesson we had two tennis pro’s available to the kids.  Their coaches also included a college tennis player and a high school student.  The children spent at least 15 minutes with each coach while training in their stations.  An additional portion of the program taught appropriate tennis etiquette.  They showed the children how to clean up the court after they practiced by retrieving balls.  They also stressed the importance of staying somewhat quiet so they didn’t bother the other players while still allowing them to have a good time.

Both Peyton and Paxton picked up on the swings quickly and started practicing in our backyard at home too.  Their skills improved over the summer.  They are now able to return the ball and control where they are hitting as well as the power of their swing.  We aren’t exactly signing up for Wimbledon.  But I can see they retained a lot of the basics.

For the fall they both asked to play soccer again but I can see us back on the tennis courts in the spring and summer.

One more thing. Mrs. Barbara who manages the tennis programs at PAC is wonderful.  She is very thorough with making sure your child is using the appropriate sized racket.  They have rackets that the kids can use for their weekly lesson but if you are interested in purchasing one they will fit and measure your child for the right size.

Like many things we have done I am glad that we decided to try tennis.  My initial thoughts were that they were not going to learn that much or would not enjoy it.  I was wrong.  The lessons were fun for the kids and have me ready to pick up my racket again.  I am waiting for the temp to drop, just a little, and then I am signing up for my own lessons.

Too little to play…

I have the perfect tennis dress…

For more information on the Junior Tennis Program at Pelican Athletic Club you can visit their website here.  In case you missed it you can also read the full recap on our summer here.

XO,

Tippy
