While Cora is sitting out this season (happily) to do ballet and tap instead, James has been ready and waiting for soccer to begin! Jay is again coaching his team and he has 3 returning players (James, Brycen, and AJ), another boy who played on a different team this fall, and 4 boys who are new to the sport (but have enjoyed playing in their backyards, so they have some experience). I think it's interesting that Jay has an all-boy team again, and based on their first practice, I think these little guys are going to rule the fields this season!

Their favorite drill was "kick the coach" (everyone aiming to kick their soccer ball at Jay as he ran around the field dodging them). Jay played hard to get, so it took forever for one of them to finally tag him, and when he collapsed to the ground our littlest player dog-piled him. It was hilarious to me, especially because I could tell how absolutely exhausted the chase made him (he'd just come from yoga class, and had done yoga at home this morning as well, so running around the soccer field after a bunch of 4-year-olds was his 3rd workout of the day).

P.S. Tuesdays are now ridiculously busy with yoga, dance class, and soccer practice. Who knew we'd be rushing around like this with kids so young? Sure, fall soccer was busy with dual practices, but at least they usually overlapped and were at the same location. I think a between practices snack of milkshakes and dinner of sandwiches is going to be completely justified for the next couple of months...
