Music Recital

This year Rylan started a 'Let's Play Music' class. He loved it! I think he had a lot of fun learning more about music. His class was once a week and he never complained about going. In fact, a couple times he had a friend over but when I would tell him it was time to leave for music class, he'd stop playing, put his shoes on and say bye to his friend! He had homework to do every week and occasionally that was a battle to get it done... but he got it done every week!
His class (along with the other first year class) had a recital at the library and it was so cute! They had speaking parts and Rylan had his perfectly memorized. That kid is really good at memorization and he can memorize things fast!! They also sang songs and played their bells.

He's already signed up for next year when they will start on the keyboards. He's so excited!!

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 :)
