Lennard is so busy with rugby that Ben is constantly asking when he can go ‘coach’ with him. Well, yesterday, when I was in Lethbridge, I happened upon a display of soccer cleats. Since we’ve signed the kids up for soccer this year for the first time, I decided to buy them some cleats. (Not that they needed them…) To say that they were excited is an understatement. They each got their own bags for their own cleats at the checkout and held them all the way home. As soon as we got in the house, they had them on and didn’t want to take them off!
When Lennard got home, they were bouncing off the walls with excitement to show him what they’d got. They wanted to go to the soccer park right then, but Lennard had to go coach rugby. He promised them that he would take them the next day when he got home from work, so guess what I heard all day long?!
The second he walked in the door they accosted him and followed him around until he had changed and got ready to take them to the soccer park.
The field was still quite wet, but they had a blast kicking the ball around. Of course, we had only been there for about 5-10 minutes when they both figured they had played enough soccer and just wanted to play on the playground! (Soccer might get interesting if that is their attention span!)
At least we got a few minutes of fun family time in. They were pretty cute running around in their new cleats!
Ben had to take a break to ‘coach’ and blow the whistle! Lennard yelled ‘score’! Ben yelled ‘strike’! Guess we’re going to have to work on terminology for each sport!
My beautiful children.
