Canon had his first soccer "practice" this past Saturday! We signed up him for a 6-week tots class put on by Alexandria Soccer Association. Canon has always loved soccer and loves to kick a ball, so I thought it would be a really fun way to get us out of the house on Saturday mornings before football comes on.
It was about as chaotic as you can imagine to have 10 (?) kids, parents and a coach running around, but everyone did a great job. There were some kids who paid really close attention and followed all the directions and those who just ran around to their own whim the whole time. Canon fell right in the middle. I was really proud of the way he followed his coach (with our help), but I could tell by the end he just wanted to do his own thing. They had warm-ups, then did some "dribbling" skills, and ended with quite a few games including building towers with blocks and kicking their balls to knock it over. I spent the entire time smiling and laughing while Aaron and I alternated taking pictures and helping Canon. Our good friends' the Works came and their son Parker also helped keep Canon on track.
I'm hoping this is the beginning of a looooong career of being a #soccermom. (or football, swimming, dance, choir, band, etc) Now I just need a minivan!
