Lil' Foot soccer Practice

James has been asking to go to school for almost a year now...and he's only 31/2. Since he's not going to go to school for a couple more years (due to his late birthday) I decided that we should compromise. So we enrolled him in what he calls "soccer school." He's on the lil' foot soccer league for 3-4 year-olds. If you thought 5 year-olds just clumpped and chased the ball, well you should see this! James is super proud that he gets to be in soccer school. Last night he had his first scrimmage match with his team. I think something finally clicked and he started chasing the ball. He took it away from the other team 2 times, and shot a goal once too! He is still struggling with the "good sport" concept of not crying went he other team scores a goal and he doesn't...but that's kind of the whole point of putting kids that age into sports anyway, is to help them learn about following rules and being a good sport! His first game is on Saturday, and we can't wait to see how he does, and how long all the kids last...

Here's some pictures from soccer practice

Ben likes soccer practice just about as much as James does!
