Starting Soccer

Aidan has his first official soccer class/practice tonight. It was what you might expect with a group of 12 or so three-year-olds but he had a great time. I was impressed at how well he followed directions and kept up with the other kids. His only problem was that we didn't tell him ahead of time that there is more than one way to dribble a ball. At first when the coach would say dribble, he would pick up the ball and bounce it like a basketball. We will work on that for next week.
Warm-Ups (Aidan has on the white shirt and navy shorts) The coach had the kids try to balance the ball behind their head. We were surprised that Aidan could actually do it.

Post-practice dinner. Aidan got a special birthday dessert. Earlier this month, Darren took Aidan to Home Depot again for their kid's workshop.

Aidan's celebratory treat after his first week of potty training.

Look forward to playing some soccer with Aidan in Ohio! Maybe we can have a mini-soccer camp in the backyard.
