We had soccer today starting with Andy at 8 and then Jack at noon. Andy does a great job during his practice time and then when the game starts he has one or two good kicks. The rest of the time he likes to stand and look around and then get a little lost for a bit in thought. After a bit of that he ends up turning and running towards the ball with his arms sticking up behind his back. It is his Super Mario Brothers fast run. He'll do that for a bit, get a little touch of the ball and then repeat the process. He is coming a long. There are still a few weeks left to go. Actually, this is very good practice as he is planning to be Mario for Halloween all of this running around is helping him with his character.
Jack of course had a game. He is a riot. I don't think it matters a bit to him what is going on in the game. He is out there and if the ball is lucky enough to hit him while he is either walking or running around then count it. He will hang out in the net of the goal, or wander to the sideline for a few sunflower seeds from me. He runs around the field not really focused on the ball at all but he has this big grin on his face. Well, I don't think that Jack will be doing soccer again. He told me today he would like to learn about golf next year in stead. I think we could work that out. There is definitely more wide open space that he could go and run around in.
Not sure where their competitive spirit is. That is okay though. We have a good time no matter what. Well, most times.
