Not all at the same time, but here's the list:

First and foremost, private baton twirling lessons for 13 years! I started as soon as I could walk decent.

Tap, ballet and jazz.

Did lots of beauty pageants when I was from about 5 to about 13.

I did take piano at one point. Not for long.

Girl Scouts for about 1 or 2 years only.

Did Pompons in high school for 1 year.

I think that covers it.

Didn't work out well for either of those . . .
I definately wasn't graceful and I wanted to take that monodrome thingy and hit my piano teacher with it.

Those didn't work out because I hated camping and the outdoors and selling those cookies door to door.

[CamColt]

My big things were 10 years of dance lessons and about 8 or 9 of skating.

Things I tried for a year or so included gymnastics, baton, and Irish step dancing(despised that one!). I also did Brownies & Girls Scouts for a few years.

 

[WendyWhiner]

I didn't get to do anything as a child. Everyone I knew said I was too much of a whiner.

 

[skuttle]

I did T-ball for as long as I could...as soon as they started pitching to me I was outta there!

I did gymnastics for a little while, along with dance (tap, jazz, ballet). It became too much so I had to pick and I chose dancing. I did dance from the age of 4/5 all the way until my senior year of highschool.

I was in the band (flute) from 5th grade through highschool. Once in highschool, I also did colorguard (flags) and was even flag captain my senior year. I loved that stuff! Call me a band nerd, I don't care...I even married one (DH is a music ed major).

Also in highschool, I performed in school plays. My senior year we did Cinderella and I was an evil step sister...that was SO much fun. We even "toured" around the local elementary schools.

My DS is only 13 months old, but both DH and I agree that he has to be invovled in something. It doesn't really matter to me what it is, but he's not going to just sit around the house and play video games.
