Thanks Uncle Will

Aunt and Uncle watching LB while Pink and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner a couple nights back, and they had mentioned Uncle had taught LB to dribble his soccar ball.

Well, due to rain, we've been grilling, but we haven't been playign outside much.

But, last night, Little Blue was dribbling almost like a pro. As long as the ball went in a straight line, he could keep it that way with both feet, but once it hit a bump in the yard, he didn't have the coordination to keep it going. So, he'd stop, get behind the ball, and shoot it in the "goal (aka, Dad's legs.)

We'd scream "Goal!" and I'd kick the ball back to him. Repeat. Laugh, enjoy.

Little Man turned into a tyrant when he couldn't drop kick the ball though. He saw me keep it up in the air for a few kicks and wanted to try it, so I showed him how to drop the ball and kick at the same time.

Tried twice..."Not fair! Can't do it! Ball! Ball! Not fair!" Then he went to go play with his tricycle.

Patience and practice. The good news is that he honestly seems to enjoy playing soccer even though he's never seen it played before. He likes the kicking, the running, and especially the goal part. Pink keeps asking me if I'd consider coaching his soccer team, and with 7 years of playing under my belt, I probably could, but I think I'd enjoy watching my son play rather than trying to make sure all of the kids got their shot.

Dunno...we'll see LB, we'll see.
