Starting Soccer

March has come in beautifully, and we have even broken out the shorts and seriously considered swimming.

Kylie has officially started soccer!  She has been so excited to start and we have been practicing kicking.  We had her first practice March first, and while Kylie was timid with the ball she was not timid about making friends with all the other girls.  Hayden also jumped right in and wanted to practice with them, and since he wasn't really in the way I let him stay.




Kylie's first game was the 4th, and since their team (called the Raven's) had really only practiced kicking, they had no idea about positions, their goal vs their opponents goal and rules.  It was quite amusing to watch.  They managed to stay tied, and only lost at the end with a kick-off between the teams.  Kylie says she really loved it!



Afterwards Brandon took them for the day and they went to go get ice cream and play at the park.

This past week I have been kinda pushing for potty training with Hayden.  He has been very good!  He just goes frequently (like every 15 min) because he still guzzles water like it is air.  It makes me really nervous to  take him anywhere outside of the house with undies on instead of a diaper...  There have been a few instances where he will put his own diaper on (usually backwards) and be utterly defiant, but since we had so few diapers, he really had no choice.

Kylie's second soccer game last Saturday was as entertaining as the first.  There was a point where Kylie literally lay on the grass and said "I'm tired of running" so she got to go for a break.  It was hilarious.  They lost, but really they have no concept of winning at the game - just kicking the ball - so it's all good!  Afterwards Brandon took them again (since Saturday is his day) and they went to the park, arcade, and Snow Canyon to play in the sand.  Wear them out in that sun!
