tennis 101

caleb started his very first sport lesson yesterday. he has been trailing along while cam does baseball, kira does soccer, softball, etc. for the last couple of years, so this was a big deal. the little guy finally got to participate!
look how proud he is. 🙂

look at that follow through. what a stance. 🙂

one handed! totally keeping his eye on the ball!

1. wear the thickest corderoy pants you own. they are stylish and will benefit you at the end of practice.
2. being the only boy in the group is not a bad thing.
3. miss a few shots and when the coach thinks you haven’t been listening, pelt him straight in the tummy with a tennis ball.
4. at the end of the lesson, be dripping with so much sweat, (because you wore the corderoy pants) that you sweet talk mom into buying you an overpriced $3.00 Gatorade even though she brought 2 ice cold water bottles along.
5. for the rest of the day, or maybe week, whenever you get into trouble, be sure and say, “but you loved me so much at tennis!” in a really cute voice, so that your parents will burst out laughing and forget that you did something naughty.
