Emma keeping Robin busy

Emma keeping Robin busy

Lilly just wrapped up her first ‘sports sampler’ class at the South Boulder Rec Center. We were a bit nervous about Lilly taking the class at first because it’s not something she normally gravitates towards, but she had an absolute blast and had the biggest smile on her face each week. The 45 minute class met at 5pm on Thursdays and each week a new sport was covered: hockey, soccer, basketball, tball, tennis, and flag football. When asked which week was her favorite she says she couldn’t possibly choose and enjoyed them all. This last week she was given a ‘Winner’s’ medal that she proudly displayed around her neck the rest of the day.

The time of the class made it a bit of a challenge with Robin, who is not the type to sit in my lap and watch anything, so I was very much appreciative of our neighbor Emma who helped out most weeks while I watched Lilly. We would walk to the rec center together and Emma would occupy Robin (who was most interested in watching the swim team practice and playing with the handicap buttons to open and close doors). We are lucky that the girls have this awesome 11 year old next door that cares for them and likes to help out as much as she can.

I am so proud of Lilly and once again impressed with how she is turning in to this smart and beautiful girl who is developing and pursuing new interests all the time. Way to go, Lil!
