Both my girls have been asking me and my husband if we will sign them up for summer programs and we have been going through those booklets we get through the school to find things for them to do.
My oldest wants to do soccer. I found her a league that was not very expensive. It's something she has been wanting to do for a while now. My youngest is the budding artist and wants to do some sort of art class, but all the art classes through parks and rec we have done before and they don't really teach much. The ones offered through schools are really pricey ($80 a week, one class a week). We talked with her and told her that we really can't afford that right now, but she could choose something else. She picked horse riding lessons. So I looked into those and boy are they expensive.
I feel bad telling her she can't do the things she really wants. I don't want her to miss out on maybe doing something she could be really great at. WE had to talk with her again and tell her that horse riding lessons would have to wait. So now she want to do gymnastics, but I think it's more that she doesn't want to do it, but she knows it's what we can afford.
They are both signed up for swim team as well and that is something they both are interested in. So I am glad she has atleast that right now, but I feel bad not being able to give her the lessons she really wants.
Maybe I can sell my soul to the devil.....
