The last few weeks, I have been helping coach kids tennis! Yesterday, Stacey asked me if I would like to help Katie coach the kids class on Mondays and Fridays in exchange for private lessons! That's a great deal! I'm so excited! Private lessons with Stacey aren't cheap. Plus, I'm there anyway to watch Emma! It's amazing to watch how quickly a child learns, as opposed to an overthinking adult! They just relax and have fun and absorb everything they're taught. It just occurred to me that the brain is the softest between ages 1 and 5. That's why kids can learn so much at an early age, then learning ability slows with age. Emma was almost 3 years old when we brought her home. She spoke fluent Chinese at first, then after a month of being in America, she spoke English with almost no Asian accent at all. One of my Asian friends couldn't believe she had been in America for such a short time. My friend was older when she came to America and still had a thick accent.
Anyway, Emma started tennis 6 weeks ago. The coaches moved only 2 kids up to the next level for the next 6 weeks. Emma had her 1st lesson with the new group and the coach recommended they actually move her up 1 more level! The coach told her that she would be beating mom in no time! (Doink, Yikes, Bug Eyes!!!)
Oh, and btw, this gal lost 3 back teeth this week. The poor tooth fairy is going to go broke!!!
