Big Boy had a great soccer season. We even managed to squeeze in a tournament the weekend of our vow renewal! He played hard this year and we could tell he was really liking it and feeling like it was HIS THING. He gets the soccer bug now. When the snow started to melt and I took him to sign up I remember he talked about it almost daily after that. I heard him telling a neighborhood pal “I am on an actual team. I got a soccer team!” So nice for him to have this to enjoy each spring.
(Check out the below pictures of my oldest messing around on the side lines at her brothers game!)
So I may actually have a sport convert on my hands! Well her style of sport anyhow… Big Girl used to scream at every soccer practice when she was on a team “TAKE ME HOME! I HATE SOCCER!” Pretty clear! Well we don’t have a big extra curricular budget in this family so when the school started a free skipping club I was thrilled she wanted to join. They learned tricks and stunt and I think something clicked in my girl! Sports aren’t just soccer, hockey or basketball! You can do skipping, baton and gymnastics, rock climbing! Well these are the sports she is insisting she needs to get involved in now. Being 8 she is now old enough to really work on her mom and dad, wheeling and dealing. I have no idea if we will put her in any or if we can but I love to see her finding her own place in the SPORTY side of life.
BUT if she does one more cartwheel in the house I will flip my lid! She kicked her brother in the face the other day, causing a bloody lip, when doing one of her flips.
