jumping, running & kicking.

jade starts soccer this week!! he was supposed to have a practice on tuesday, but it was rained out, so now he has one tonight.

on monday we went and bought his cleats, shin guards, and special socks. we came home and put them on him, and he FREAKED out... like got totally nervous, threw a fit, and was put in time out, when he came out of time out, he had ripped all of his soccer gear off... not happy.

we slowly talked to him about, cam explained what it is, that we aren't going to be leaving him, we will stay there and watch, and he gets to meet new friends.

we also may or may not have said that if he doesn't do soccer he has to do swim lessons (he was not a big fan of swim lessons)

he got a little bit used to the idea, and we put the gear back on, and cam taught him some things about soccer...

don't touch the ball with your hands, just kick it with your feet

soccer cleats help you run fast in the grass

he translated that to "soccer cleats help you jump high"

running super fast

sis got jealous, and said she wanted to do soccer too, we told her when she's a little bit older she can do dance lessons. she ran back to her room and put her tutu on. came back and did some special dance moves for us... she may or may not think that she is going to "ballerine" lessons tonight... uh oh

he got really excited about it all

she wanted the attention too

cute soccer boy

so we'll see how it goes tonight!! can't wait! :)
