KICK!




So there is a group of medical school wives that wanted to get their kids together to play soccer. In order to play at the YMCA you have to be atleast 4- so the mothers wanted their younger kids to have a chance to play as well. It was set up for 2-3 yr olds. every Tuesday night @ 5. For the first 3 weeks either the weather was nasty or Samantha and Collin were sick. Finally this week we were all better and the weather was awesome! When I first told Samantha about playing soccer her response was "Yes! Now I can kick people!" quickly I corrected her and told her that in soccer the object of the game was to kick the ball- not people- she then she came back with "Yes! I can kick the ball at people!" Needless to say- before we left Tuesday I had to remind her what soccer really was- and what she was suppose to do! Mike met us there after he was done at school- and he worked a bit with Samantha- she then walked over to the goal - and stood 2 ft. away and kicked the ball in the goal- she was THRILLED!


As you can see in her cute little face! She played a little more- but then as mostly little 2 year olds came to play- she got bored and said "This is enough" she then wanted a snack! Mike said that she will be the kid who just comes to soccer for the Capri Sun and orange slices!

I missed our deadline for soccer but all of Ken's little boy/friends are playing this summer. She is pretty content with her ballet class for now. Sam is darling. Cute little story. I want to steal Collin by the way..he is a doll.
