In a powerful moment of familial pride we registered Zoey for 3-5 year old Gymnastics and Aiden for 3-5 year old soccer. They both have games on Saturday mornings. Last week the Grover Grandparents came up to watch and partake in the joy and pride. First up in the morning was Z's Gymnastics. She is really good at summersaults and loves the games and activities.

I gave the camera to Teresa so that I would not come across as a creep taking pictures of peoples little girls.
I didn't get to stick around for the end because Aiden had to be at soccer. Next week both events are at the same time. Woooh.
The soccer we signed Aiden up for is through the YMCA and we were quite specifically told that nothing matters. Let them kick it, pick it up, go the wrong way, whatever. Just Cheer! So the kids can have fun. I am fine with this idea.
We arrived and found no one from his team there and no one distributing our uniforms. I had asked for a child extra small since Aiden is meager. Eventually we found it and tried to put it on. It was much too large. Also T insisted that he get shin guards in case the super violent 3 year old kicked him. I bought those. He hated them immensely. He officially broke down just putting on the uniform.

So, we'll have some things to work on, or not, for the next few weeks.
Other than that we've been enjoying the nice weather, working, hiking, and dreaming up/of vacations.
Till next time-

I didn't realize Aiden was that small! That video of him picking up the ball is so funny.
That made me laugh. Sam's team is the same way - some kids really get it while others hang on the goal posts the whole time. It's fun to watch them try new things, but hard to give up part of Saturdays.
Great job, Zoey! Gymnastics looks fun. She's growing up. Aiden is such a sweetheart he wouldn't want to hurt anyone on the soccer field. What a cutie.
Cute videos. Zoey is really in to the gym experience. That kid in front of her on the hopscotch is hilarious.
Aiden is just the sweetest little guy. He just wants to have fun and share and smile.
Youth soccer is life. The rest is just details. Eat sleep soccer. Nothing else matters. We take it serious.
