Today the pre-season speed skating camp starts. For me it marks the end of summer break. #speedskating #kidssports #parenting

I have 3 teams competing in gymnastics this year - a beginner team, an intermediate team and an advanced team.

If you’ve never seen Team Gym, think the gymnastics version of synchronised swimming - formations, lifts, balances - it’s cool.

Tonight, when we were adding a new section to the intermediate routine, one of the kids was like “this is cool” and “omg, I love it” … and they were being genuine!

It’s moments like that which make up for the times they don’t listen or sit still or do what they’re supposed to.

Work is always work, but it doesn’t always have to feel like work.

MDMRN Twin 1 (8 yrs old) had a scrimmage last Saturday with her indoor #soccer team. It was her first time her whole team played together. They played against the other team from our community.

We were expecting some fun, maybe a little awkwardness as some of the kids adapted to indoor soccer.

Nope. Her team crushed it.

Won 9-0.

MT1 scored a goal & assisted on 5 of them.

This will be an interesting season.
