Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Way to go Claire! I know exactly how you must have felt . I think about playing sports all the time. With some of his other issues, I know he may not be the most graceful, but I will sure be the most proud! and Claire wrote: Just wanted to share a proud mommy moment with my 5 year old daughter Claire.. on Tuesday she went straight from ballet -- and out of her pink tights and ballet flats, into shin guards and cleats -- for her first soccer practice!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I love reading about the 'little' milestones that Claire has. They warm my heart and make me look forward to when is a bit older, and a bit older.each age there's something new to be proud of. Not that I don't love him at this age, he's a really nice kid . at the advanced age of 3!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 HI Claire! THanks so much for sharing! I know it gives us all something to look forward to. That is so great! I too want to enroll my daughter but in gymnastics. She is very flexible and I thought that since she loves to jump and run around all day that could be something she would enjoy. Was your daughter unilateral or bilateral? And when was she released from her brace? Well so nice of you to share I am sure you are One Proud Mama!! and BL CF 12/16/03 and Claire wrote: Just wanted to share a proud mommy moment with my 5 year old daughter Claire.. on Tuesday she went straight from ballet -- and out of her pink tights and ballet flats, into shin guards and cleats -- for her first soccer practice!

She actually wore the brace till very recently. (to be on the safe side, never any setbacks.) I know you'll enjoy seeing start doing the same sort of activities.. gymnastics, soccer.. the time will be here before you know it! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
