Soccer

We signed the boys up to play soccer awhile back and two Saturdays ago was their first soccer practice/game. It was so much fun. I didn't go to the very first one because JoDee was in town and we had limited time to play, so we did other things while the boys went to soccer, so this past Saturday was their second time playing and I went to watch with Tom. It was so amusing to watch a bunch of four and five year olds play soccer. They are so uncoordinated and hilarious. I wish I would have brought a video camera.

Talin actually did a really good job trying to keep up and follow the rules. Collin on the other hand is such a goon. When someone would try to kick his ball away from him, his solution was to lay on top of it in a fetal position and stay there in the middle of the field. I was embarrassed to claim him as my child after an hour of this. And he wore out a lot quicker than Talin, which was shocking, and would often just sit down on the field and quit.

Here is Collin all worn out and exhausted.
Talin is working hard, sorry for the blurry pic.

The boys being taught what to do.

They were having trouble holding the ball so I guess they were suppose to put their hand behind their back, this was at the first practice so I wasn't there for these pictures.

Typical scene right here. Playing their roles to perfection.

So Collin had a little trouble holding the ball as well as laying on it.

I'm thinking next year might be better, Collin was a little young to start off, he's still only three. I actually had to convince them to let him on the team with Talin, now I'm thinking that might have been a mistake. But at this age I figure they're just out there to have fun anyway.
