Mini tennis pro

Alekisio has been taking tennis lessons since june. He loves it. At first he was in his own world. If he missed a ball instead of just waiting for the coach to toss another one he would run after it. When he did hit it he swung like a baseball player, balls were flying left and right over the fence. To Alekisio of course that's the best part and weeks into lessons he was still saying he wanted to hit it over the fence. After correcting his swing repeatedly he's hitting like a pro. His coach just told me last week he's hitting really well. The coaches are great Coach West is the female coach in the picture below, she's great at getting him to hit the right way. But Alekisio's favorite coach is Coach Frank. I think it's because Coach Frank always does the fun exercises for hand eye coordination. He's really patient, even when he's got four four year old boys running around not paying attention. Tennis is Alekisio's favorite part of the whole week. I can't tell him it's tennis day or he won't take a nap. I don't know if you can tell in these pictures but Sio sweats like a mad man. He takes water breaks between water breaks. He never complains or stops moving though. I don't think Isabelle likes tennis as much because she gets strapped into the stroller and parked in the shade. I've tried to let her out but she gets in the way and whacked in the head with swinging rackets. I spend the hour picking up tennis balls to keep the baskets full, and tossing balls to the kids. Alekisio loves tennis and he seems to be a natural when it comes to sports. Maybe one day he'll make millions, hey, a mom can dream can't she?
