I never liked sports as a kid, and naturally I thought my kids would feel the same. Or at least I thought that my lack of interest would spur their own.
This summer has proven me wrong. Edith and Atticus both learned to ride a bike, of course. A week or two ago Edith began learning to rollerblade. And this past weekend they both decided to show a bit of skill throwing and catching a baseball. Not to mention Edith has asked to join soccer (we'll see!), but that's only because some of her friends are in it.
Not only that, but they've decided to become fans of the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey team. This is pretty much exclusively thanks to a neighbor who is a year older than Edith and an excellent hockey player himself. But we've actually been watching some of the playoff games and cheering the home team on.
They've both watched plenty of Ohio State football in the past -- something none of us will be doing this fall since the Big Ten season is canceled for the year. We'll see if these newfound interests are still around when football begins again!
