It feels like ages ago when we started Soccer Tots with Maile. As of Saturday, we are back – this time with Lauren!
The first time through, Daddy was very excited about the prospect of playing soccer with Maile Girl. In hindsight, I might have overdone it a bit – Maile basically “retired” from soccer last year. Possible she picks it up again, but for now she is focusing on many other activities.
But with Lauren, we get to try again. We’re starting her a little bit older. Maile was only 2 when she started, Lauren is fast approaching three. We’ll see how it goes – I would say that day #1 was a success. We had fun running around and playing the games, she got a little shy when it was her turn to introduce herself. And getting mud on her hands was a drag. But on the plus side, she mentioned “playing soccer with Daddy” several times throughout the rest of the day – so we have a start!
