Soccer

The kids have both started soccer!  Logan is in 'soccer starters' and Isabel is on a legit uniforms-and-everything team. Isabel has practice during the week and games on Saturday.  Logan has a training session on Saturdays.  They usually do 1/2 of the session practicing skills and the other 1/2 scrimmaging.  Logan is really not into it.  There are a ton of kids and trainers yelling out directions all the time.  If Brian or I stands next to him and demonstrates what he's supposed to do he might do it.  Or not.  The scrimmage is hilarious.  Kids going in all different directions.  I think Logan is one of the youngest, so that makes it more challenging.

Isabel's team, the mustangs, is fun to watch.  They don't keep score and it's very informal.  It's supposed to spark a little bit of competitiveness in the girls with the main objective to have fun and hopefully cultivate a love for 'the beautiful game.'  Izzys first game and practice were ok.  She loved it and never wanted it to end, but she wasn't very aggressive and just sort of followed her friends around the field.  The second practice something clicked and she really showed improvement.  She did great at the game too.  I'm just happy that she really loves it and wants to play.  She asks almost every day if she has soccer.
