Lukas has been a bit under the weather with a virus, but the upside is that he got to spend the day with Dad. Now he'll never want to go to "real" daycare when the alternative is hanging out with Daddy on excavators and seeing log trucks in the woods!
Charlie's soccer team has a tiny wanna be...Lukas doesn't want to be left out of the action.
He was actually quite good at dribbling the ball...he certainly surprised us. We've never even seen him with the ball like that. I was able to get a very small clip of him doing it.
Lukas is turning into such a big boy. This weekend will be a bitter sweet moment as we get rid of the crib. He has been sleeping in his "big boy bed" all week so it is time to say good bye (ciao, adios, au revoir...)
Lukas has been doing really good on the potty lately as well. We found he is highly motivated by candy and will do almost anything for an M&M. He should be potty trained and 100 lbs by Christmas!
Soccer for 4 and 5 year olds is really quite a hoot. They are like a little swarm of bees buzzing around the ball as it moves around the field. Good thing it is only 3 on 3 at this age. It seems they are either trying to get the ball no matter what (even if it's from a player on the same team) or are oblivious to where the ball is (even as parents are yelling directions from the side lines). It's almost too much cuteness to handle.
Charlie is an aggressive player on the field and takes plenty of shots.
Here he is with a teammate Eduardo - these two are a force to be reckoned with on the field.
We know many of you wish you could be here to cheer Charlie on in person,
so here is a small clip of the game today....
Hopefully you can tell that he is #2. This clip doesn't show him making a goal,
Soccer has begun! So much fun to see these little guys practice.
And...Paul got roped into coaching at the last minute :-) Of course he was wonderful with the kids since he's a big kid at heart. He was great thinking of drills on the fly.
