My daughter is 6 and takes ballet. She looks forward to the weekly practices when she can put on her clean pink tights and choose one of her crisp leotards. She feels she looks her best and it shows when she practices.

My child was 5 when he started playing basketball. He was shorter than the rest and never could get the ball high enough to make a basket. He practiced and practice and soon became strong enough to get the ball up high enough to make a basket. I'll never forget the first time in a game when the ball when in. We both looked at each other and had a look of surprise on our faces.

The best moments are hearing from my children's (age 6 and 8) teachers that my children are very well behaved and polite in class.
