Sam started soccer on Saturday...I know you're thinking, 'Soccer, he's not even two...how does that work?' We actually found a program (thanks to my friend Kristin) that starts kids at 18 months, called Soccer Tots (it's a nation-wide program so they may have classes near you). I was a bit skeptical at first, so I went to observe in the spring...and I was impressed. They do games that teach soccer skills in a fun way. Saturday John and Sam stretched, ran, dribbled, shot goals, chased hula hoops, kicked cones, chased each other's tails, and headed balloons. (I was told by a friend who is a soccer trainer and coach that the classes can vary in quality depending on the instructor so always ask around or observe your instructor first.) We can't wait until next Saturday!

What fun! I think we might sign up in the fall after our Little Gym semester ends. Dave used to play club soccer so he will love it.
bbswcbBad Mom?! I don’t think it has anything to do with bad or good issue it is what it is. Sam will grow out of it and he will be shown what to respect and be cautious of. I am sure his mom will do that. It won’t take long that he will be taught the difference as he is in everything else. He isn’t afraid of birds or insects in the yard he just needs to be worked with on flying insects. After the incident he was looking for the butterfly so he could see it it just never came back. The thing now is to teach him the difference in a butterfly and a bee. There are a lot of bees in the yard this time of the year and most here are honey bees that will tend not to bother you . You will be able to take him out and let him watch them work and make sure he doesn’t disturb them.
