Silly, I know, seeing as my son is only 2, but he's very athletically advanced and has great hand-eye coordination. I was a runner when I was younger but never played team sports. I would hate to teach him a wrong grip or bad methods, so I would love to see an early sports-themed workshop for mommies (or non-athletic dads, too) in my position--you know, us future soccer and T-Ball Moms? My son got a T-ball set for Christmas this year and though I don't really know the game well, I've already taught him how to set it up, swing and hit--and he's actually pretty good at it and gets so excited every time he gets a hit! He can already catch a soft ball with a mitt too. We do a lot of the things you listed already--I live in the city so there are lots of those types of activities for free already at the library, Mommie and Me clubs, my gym, and playgroup.
