This spring we decided Nate was ready to try the soccer class again, and it's been going great! He was really like a different kid. Amazing what a difference 7 months can make! It was a different coach this time. Nate jumped right in and started trying to do exactly what he was telling them to do, and he did good! He was great running around when he had his own ball, but when it came to scrimmage time on the first night, he wasn't so sure how they were all supposed to go after ONE ball!! He was upset he couldn't get to the ball so he kind of just froze. But the second class, he did much better, at least running around after the ball with the rest of the group! Poor sweet baby boy needs to be a little more aggressive, but I'm sure Daddy will work on that!! I worry because he's so hard on himself. No matter what we say, he never quite feels like he did good enough. I sure hope that changes, I just really couldn't be prouder of him and it makes me sad when he says "I didn't did good, Mommy". I hope he is just trying to get some reassurance. He always seems to buck up later and be excited about what he learned to do in class, which makes me feel better. I just want him to have FUN!
Sorry about the phone pics..
Lilly was ready to start something new too, and she said she wanted gymnastics this time! She's pretty quiet about it, but from what I can tell, she likes it! I think (I hope) it's building her confidence and that's a good thing!! These phone pics are horrible because we can't be in the gym with them, so I have to watch from the window way at the other side of the gym. But that's her right in the middle, in the purple leotard jumping off a little spring board!
This is the teacher helping her flip over the bar. She is swinging her legs up here, with her arms holding on to the bar. if you can zoom in.
Here are some RANDOM phone pictures from recently that are too cute not to post!
Helping me get some quick groceries for dinner with their mini-cart! These are such a pain, I only let them push them around if I don't have very much to get!
Nate loves to help Daddy wash his car! (Wish they would wash MINE)!!
Good Friday was such nice weather, we went out to a park by the lake.. just a shot of them having fun on the slide..
Surprise party for their teacher's birthday in their classroom.. We LOVE Miss Camie :)
3D glasses for a short little movie at the Children's museum!!
Nate playing with WORMS at Chick-Fil-A Tiny Tot Time, where the theme was about bugs and things that live in the dirt!
A few days ago we had some HOT weather and got out to the park to play after being stuck inside sick for quite a while..
They had too much fun spinning on this.. so much so, that they both thought they were going to be sick when they finally stopped :-/ Someday they'll learn to listen to me!
And just in case anyone is keeping track.. I had Lilly take a picture of me at about 20 weeks (this was about a week and a half ago). I'm really a lot bigger than the picture makes me look :) I've already gained 15 pounds, I just hope I don't gain as much as I did with the twins!!! It's not looking good so far! :)
