Nate started soccer a few weeks ago, and has done such a good job!! He has practice once a week and a game every Saturday. He listens to his coach, and hustles all the time. I am so proud of the big boy that he is becoming. I LOVE watching him run back and forth out there and go after the ball, even though he doesn't know what's going on all the time! He is having so much fun, and that's what I love the most. It would be so hard to drag him out there for practice and games every week, and I think we'd stop when/if we got to that point. But for now he counts down the days until he can play soccer again with his new friends. He says his favorite part about games is when the parent make a "bridge" for the players to run through, and of course the SNACK they get at the end (all this boy thinks about is FOOD!!).
Lilly started taking some tap classes, which turned into a tap class followed by a ballet class. When I saw how she lit up and started gaining confidence little by little, I just couldn't see any reason to not keep her in dance as long as possible. The teacher of her little class at the activity center started her own studio, and last week we started a ballet-tap combo class there with 4 and 5 year olds (other class was 2 to 5 year olds). She was a little nervous about it being all new friends in her class, but she walked right in and did GREAT. The class is an hour and she said she liked it, so we'll keep doing that until she tells me otherwise. The difference in Lilly from December to now (for whatever reason) has been amazing. She still has her days, but the crying has pretty much stopped, and when she does it only last a second. She is speaking up and sounding more confident. She is initiating conversations with new friends (which NEVER happened before). I'm SO glad to see her be more comfortable with new adventures, especially since we are getting so close to the big KINDERGARTEN!!!
And what's a post without PICTURES!?
This was the class she was taking with the younger girls at the activity center..
Easy to see Lilly because she was the tallest (oldest) one!
