Soccer

Ryann started soccer on Saturday morning. The whole family went. Scott watched Avery while I helped Ryann. It was really cute to see all the little kids. Her group is from 31 months -4 years. She's 32 months so I was worried that she'd be the smallest one, but there were several kids that looked to be her age. I was also afraid that she'd either cling to me the whole time or have a tantrum. There were tantrums all around but, fortunately, only a couple were hers. One little boy screamed for about 30 of the 45 minutes. Ryann did really well at first. They ran and kicked their balls, kicked cones over and set them up, kicked theirs balls in the "monkey house" (goal) and did silly dances. She listened to her coach and tried most things. However, after 20 minutes, her attention span was shot. All she could think about was going to "play ot the park." There was a playground directly adjacent to the field...too much temptation for her. We struggled through the last few activities and she got to go to the playground for a while. I asked her if she liked soccer and she said yes so I guess we'll try again next week. The only thing she could remember to talk about later was playing with her "lellow hula poop." We used a yellow hula hoop for one of the activities. I hope she doesn't tell that to too many people. :0)
I'll try to post photos next week. The battery died while we were there.
