Little Kickers


Rylan started his very first soccer class! Kevin took Ry on Tuesday and came home a bit frustrated. The class is one hour and about halfway through Rylan declared himself all done and just sat around for the remaining time. Truthfully this surprised neither of us but we're always hopeful of finding something that really interests Ry.
On Thursday, Kevin had a soccer game of his own so I took Rylan to class with Asher in tow. Asher was more into it than Rylan! I kept Asher on the sidelines dribbling his own soccer ball up and down the field while I cheered Rylan on. After a drill they started their game and Rylan did great for most of it! He mainly ran around in the huddled group around the ball not really watching where he was going so I'd have to point out to him when the ball was close so he could kick it. When he actually did kick the ball his face would light up and he'd look up at me with a big smile. I think with time he really will enjoy playing soccer! And hopefully over the next couple of weeks we'll have some action shots rather than a picture of him hanging out with a cone :)
