Soccer

This morning marked Henry's introduction to organized sports - soccer class! Seeing as how the class was for 3/4 year olds, and Henry is just a week past turning 3, we weren't expecting much in terms of actually learning the finer points of the game, but the good news is that Henry seemed to have a fun time. He was there with his friend Jake, liked the shin guards (he really needs socks to go over them, but I was unprepared), and enjoyed the drills for "trapping" the ball. He had a wee bit of trouble remembering the NO HANDS rule,he and Jake picked up their balls and just started running across the field several times, and had one major sobbing breakdown when he wasn't able to wear a red jersey during the mock game. Other than that, it was fun and he said he was excited to go back next week.









After class, Mr. Shag got a much needed haircut:



That he then showed off at lunch:
