I don't think a parent ever forgets the first time they look into their child's eyes. I remember wondering "what kind of person would they turn out to be?" I think we all hope our kids will accomplish greatness. As they start to grow we start to notice their strengths and skills and fill with pride when they succeed and feel their pain when they fail. But what is never discussed is how we feel when our kids are just well, mediocre. So here it goes...my kids are mediocre at sports! There I said it! It doesn't mean I love them any less, it just means my kids will probably never play professional sports in the future and I am ok with that. So what do I mean by mediocre? Well both my kids still do the Phoebe run (best Friends episode ever!!) You Don't have a visual yet? It's that run kids have when they haven't yet mastered the whole arm leg moving at the same time thing yet...As both my kids start getting into their own sports David in tball and Lena with her Colorguard I couldn't help but notice how I'm reacting to their mediocre abilities. The first year of tball I became so embarrassed when they would have to bring out the tee in tball! Yup, seems a little ironic eh?? And last night during my daughter's 2 hour practice I caught myself debating if I should ask the coach if I could purchase an extra flag so I could go over the routines with her to make her better, ok the best!! So here is my question.. is there a time when mediocre is enough?? Or should I be brushing up on my songleader moves and buying myself a baseball glove??!!
