Both the 7 and 4 year olds are doing gymnastics right now once a week. For us, that has worked out great as our gym has a low teacher/student ratio and has been very patient with my kids even when they are not the best at paying attention. Both of mine are not the most athletic and have low groos motor muscle tone, and this has been fantastic towards helping their developemnt. We also did soccer at the Y with DS when he was about 4 as well and I think it is a great program, but DS just happens not to be too into soccer. For us, the key

DD1 does a lot of activities for several different reasons. She has SPD and some activities function like OT for her, gymnastics and swimming are especially excellent for her. I can tell as HUGE difference in her when she does get those things in at least twice a week. She is also dyslexic and suffers from anxiety issues, she struggles so much in other areas of her life but sports she excels in so it is important to me that we keep her self esteem up. Ok, after that full disclaimer, here is the list.

DD1 is 7 and currently takes tap/ballet, gymnastics, and she snowboards at least twice a week, this week it was 4, but that is rare. Gymnastics and dance are year school programs. In the summer we do swimming and this summer will add in theraputic horseback riding. She ice skates in the "off season" from snowboarding but not in the summer because the rink here is only open 6 months of the year. In the past we have tried baseball, soccer, art, piano, but have settled on our current list of activities as ones that she really loves.
DD2 is 3 and desperately want to be like big sister so she gets a creative dance class and then a little gymnastics class at the local gym. Next year she will start skiing and this summer I will start her in swim lessons.

Here are some of the things we've done with B.
*Kindermusik from about 18 months until he turned 6. LOVED it. It's spendy but SO worth it!
*Gymnastics- About 18 months to 4 years old. Again, LOVED it. It was very affordable althought it's a local program so I don't know if it would be comparable to gymboree, tumblebees, etc.
*Tball-For about a year when he was 4 and 5. He loved it. Price was okay. But sooooo many practices and games made it impossible to do anything else he wanted to do.
*Taekwondo-He's been doing this for the last year and LOVES it. It's very spendy for us but this is absolutely his thing.
