Soccer!

Andrew and Sylvia are two years apart in age between February and June.  And it just so happened, that Monona had a soccer skills class for 3-5 year olds this spring.  Then it shockingly aligned so that both kids wanted to participate.  Crazy.

Eli and Celia joined us, and we enjoyed five nice evenings (Thursdays in May and early June) watching the kiddos play about.

Eli’s sixth birthday was on a soccer day.  Here’s his newly-hatched Sixness:

And there’s CC.  Water breaks were a major component of the soccer skills class.

It’s chaos out there!  Then, I caught Andrew on camera doing cartwheels:)

There aren’t any soccer classes that work with our schedule this summer, and the kids aren’t interested in tennis or t-ball etc.  Andrew said he might be interested in karate, so perhaps we’ll add that in at some point.  In the meantime, this was a great, low-key initiation to the world of kids sports:)
