So we thought it a good idea to try and find out what the younger girls like to do or what their thing is...so we put them in soccer to try this first. They went in not knowing really how to play or what to expect, but they do know how to kick a ball which is a good start. Mike offered to coach one of the teams, but instead of one team he got both girls teams to coach...it is a lot of work for him but i know he loves it and the girls love have daddy as their coach. The first 10 min into Brooklynn's game the ball slapped her thigh and she came out crying saying she never wanted to play again and asking if she could take dance now. 5 minutes into Aydan's game she got tripped and a boy fell on her head and she came out crying swearing she would never play again. Since i paid up money of course i said "Not until you finish soccer." so we gave them a pep talk about it is okay to fall down and so forth so now they have played every game. Brooklynn still gets a bit timid to get to close to much but she tries and she is doing well. Aydan just cracks me up. She jumps and hops around the ball like she is going to fight it or for all you West Side Story fans...going to rumble the ball lol...She gets in there though and kicks the ball and she finally scored a goal last game and she didn't even know it. But sad to say soccer is definitely not their thing and we can cross this off our list...I guess dance is our next try. It was sure fun watching and cheering them on though...
