Summer Soccer for Hayden

 We thought we would give soccer another season since we only had 6 sessions.  It turns out, it is still like herding cats.  So officially we're taking a break from it because we can't stand another cartwheel in the field when Mom's and Dad's inner athletes are saying "Push, don't lay down, work harder".  We had to remind ourselves that yes, he is 3.  Anyway, he was actually getting the hang of it.  It is quite backward from what you teach them for all the years preceeding this moment upon entry into sports.  Don't take a ball from another kid (except for now).  Pushing isn't okay (except when you're trying to get into a huddle around a ball to get your feet on it).  Anyway, we finally got it and he actually was managing to steal the ball from other kids and to score goals (albeit there are no goalies at this age.)  Still pretty cute little guy.  Can't help taking pictures of him.
