Playing Soccer

Nathan is a soccer player! We wanted to sign Nathan up for an extracurricular activity and tried gymnastics (I wrote about that in an earlier post), but quickly realized it wasn't the thing for him. He was the only boy in the class and had WAY too much energy for it, so we signed up for soccer. He loves it! I don't have very many pictures from his first practice because I videotaped most of it so Wayne could see him. The class is an hour long, and his coach is a young guy who is so great with the kids. All of the boys are just like Nathan...wild boys! But Coach Greg is really great with them. They mainly play games during the class, but they're games that incorporate kicking the ball, doing drills like kicking the ball through cones, and of course there is tons of running which Nathan does very well!

When the class was over, Nathan didn't want to leave, so Coach Greg let him help clean up. It was crazy how much Nathan wanted to help...why doesn't he do that at home?!

Here's a picture of them doing their stretching exercises in the beginning. I'm really happy we signed up!

Kids always want to help their teachers. My kids at school will do ANYTHING for me...clean the tables, pick crumbs up off the floor, rub my shoulders....they don't do any of that for their parents :)
