Chicks week of May 25

Soccer has begun!

We were pretty sure that Sprout and Munchkin would enjoy soccer without issue.  Little Dude on the other hand was a different question.  We were pretty sure he'd enjoy it...if we could get him on the field.  Little Dude suffers from some pretty strong anxiety around trying anything new...especially with new people and in a new place.  Soccer hits all three of those.  Sure enough, he sat on the sidelines for the first practice.  Not with his team, but with me.  The next practice was rained out and the following game he skipped due to a toe injury.  The practice after that was cancelled because it was on a holiday.  So I didn't have my hopes up too high for the next game....but low and behold HE GOT ON THE FIELD!  He's now convinced he's pretty good at soccer and he likes playing.  WHEW.

Here's Munchkin at his first practice:

Ready to run!

 Sprout's first practice today.  He has 2 cousins on his team...he made one of them cry today.  So, he might look like an angel but he's got some devil in 'em!

 Sprout's the one with his head down...tunnel vision for the ball.

  What do you do when your little brother is having team pictures and starting his practice?  You play!

 It's especially good to play against Dad!
