I signed N up for racquetball lessons at the gym where I workout.  Two of his soccer team friends are in the group lessons too and they all started last night.  At first I was hesitant to add another thing to our schedule (I rather enjoy our leisurely Thursday nights), but I am SO glad my friend Angie talked me into it. 

Not only will it be totally fun, but very appropriate for keeping little Kansas boys active in the winter!  Plus, like Angie said, it's great for hand-eye coordination, which they clearly need working on!  And, here's the kicker for me – we'll {the moms} be able to workout while the boys are in their one-hour long racquetball lesson every Thursday night.  I am really happy about that because typically I don't workout on Thursdays because our mornings are so busy that day, but now I have an opportunity to add that day in as part of my routine.

Since it was their first lesson, I decided to observe.  N had a blast and is totally into it.  His golf roots are so evident though, as he tends to come down with the racquet much like you would with a golf club.  It's so cute!  It will be great for him to learn a new skill and technique.  I was totally entertained watching these three and today I'm thankful for racquetball.  ♥
