WWYD - 3 year old - soccer? with a newborn?
Would you enroll your3 year old in a 2 month(once a week) soccer program when......
your 34 weeks pregnant - and probably delivering early....with the first baby we stayed in the house because it was swine flu season and ds was a nicu baby.
would you be concerned your kid would get sick( they are already getting pulled from daycare when the newborn is home to save money/less sickness) OR would you look at it that your kid would get some socialization that they'll be missing since they won't be in daycare.

Re: WWYD - 3 year old - soccer? with a newborn?
Is it indoor or outdoor soccer? I am in almost the exact same situation, and I enrolled my 2 year old in outdoor soccer. I am also pulling her out of daycare when DC #2 arrives, so I am looking at it as a way to socialize with neighborhood kids.

yeah its outdoor soccer.
I guess it would be good for socialization since he will be out of daycare. I thought it might defeat the purpose of not getting the newborn sick but it wouldn't be good to isolate him.

Re: WWYD - 3 year old - soccer? with a newborn?
Yes I would. He is 3 and not in any other program or preschool? Definitely. At that age they need to do something IMO. And, being a germaphobe myself I think soccer is probably one of the best things he can do with minimal germ exposure

Re: WWYD - 3 year old - soccer? with a newborn?
I have a 3 year old and a newborn, but the 3 year old is in preschool--you can't isolate completely from illness, and i think it's only fair to allow the 3 year old to socialize a bit.

Re: WWYD - 3 year old - soccer? with a newborn?
We enrolled our 3.5 year old in soccer (outdoor program). It just started and lasts for 8 weeks. I have a 2 month old at home. I've also been sending DS1 to daycare/preschool 3 days per week during my maternity leave. I didn't want to interrupt his schedule too much and I wanted some time home alone with my newborn to bond and recover.

Thanks!
We have him in full day preschool, but are pulling him the two months to save a couple thousand since the medical deductible is more than that on the pregnancy. I will have dh home also on the first week so I'll have more chance to recover
