Soccer - In A Uniform :)

This morning was the third session of soccer, but only the second time for Brooke since she was sick last week. I contemplated not going again, since she is still a little sick and I'm at the peak of whatever she passed onto me, but figured we both needed a little fresh air. In addition, for the past week we have been talking to her a lot about soccer and spent a lot of time kicking balls around the house. I figured she might be more prepared for the real thing thanks to all the extra mental preparation we have been providing her ;)

We got ready in the morning and put on her soccer uniform. After breakfast I told her it was time to leave for soccer, and she decided she needed a backpack and a hat. She sure does like to accessorize ;) So here she is, on the way to soccer.


Today she was still a little sketchy about the whole thing, but much more interested in the balls at least. She didnt want to kick them, but she was willing to pick them up and carry them around. She also placed a few of them in the goal.


After some running drills (which she did pretty good at) and a stacking and kicking exercise (she stacked, but wouldnt kick) we did bubbles and the parachute. The kids were told to go under the parachute, but Brooke only wanted to go on top. And finally, the most important part of the day. At the end of class the kids got stamps. Today they were bees!
