Kids and extracurricular activities???

Sooo, my daughter, Emma, is in ballet right now (her recital is on saturday, which is the last thing I have to do for ballet)....Her first T-ball game is on Saturday as well. I am also signing her and Graci up for Gymnastics starting June 9th....Do you think I am overloading my kids or do you think that having their schedules packed is good for them? I guess I am the type of mom that would rather my kids be overloaded with something rather then spend all of their time watching TV or playing video games...I like to keep them busy; keep them on the go! Give me your opinions on this....I am open to good or bad opinions :-)

As for ballet though....I dont think we will be doing it next year! Its kind of boring...maybe we will do tap instead? Or myabe I will just keep them both in gymnastics all year???? Havent really decided yet!

Hmmm... I don't think it sounds like too much... especially since ballet is ending and soccer is beginning. I don't see anything wrong with keeping kids involved in a sport/activity or two all year round. Keeps them busy, active and involved. Now, if you had every night of the week booked with activities... I'd have to say that's a little crazy. But one or possibly two activities a season? Sounds like a good balance.
