SoccerTots

Lately, Jack has been doing pretty well at SoccerTots.  When we first started, I wasn't quite sure that soccer would be something Jack would enjoy.  However, this is our second season, and I think Jack's skills have greatly improved.  In fact, within a few weeks, he'll move from the Teddies to the Koalas - a class that is not parent-participation!  Daddy and I will be able to watch and cheer our little man on from the "sidelines."  How cute that will be...

These pictures were taken last Saturday, but this morning, I was incredibly impressed because Jack's "tick-tock" skills are getting pretty sharp.  He was able to tick-tock (dribble slowly all the way down the gym) and score a goal - three times, in fact!  He also did really well during a hoop game where I spin a hula hoop, and he has to chase it down and jump through it while it's still moving.  He made it every time!  I'm not quite sure what that has to do with soccer skills, but I'm hoping it's exercising his speed and agility:)

Suspicions Confirmed

About a month or two before Jack was born, I found out we were having a baby boy (I hadn't wanted to know before then).  I was so excited and couldn't wait to raise a little man with Brad.  My first born.  A son.  I was thrilled.

About 30 seconds later, I realized that perhaps one day Baby Jack would grow up to play soccer.  I could be a soccer mom.  Practice in the afternoons, games on the weekends, soccer parties for the team.  So much to look forward to...if Baby Jack happened to like love soccer. 

The least I can do is expose him to soccer at an early age.  Perhaps this would make him more outgoing than I was.  I never played sports or took dance.  I don't really like organized, group activities, and I don't want him to be held back for the same reason.  So I decided to sign him up for SoccerTots. 

Yes, there is such a thing.

I knew it.  My suspicions have been confirmed.  I did, indeed, birth the next Beckham.
