Soccer Class

Dean had his very first soccer class this week. It's a 7 week course put on by Puyallup Parks and Rec. I was a little apprehensive about how Dean would do because he's never been in a sports class before, but it went pretty much as I expected. He participated in the first half and sat out the second half. He's in the class with two of his cousins, Britton and Evy.

Waiting for class to start. It's kind of fun watching Dean participate in something by himself without me helping him.

At first they just kicked their ball over to the coach to give him a high five, then turned around and kicked it back to the assistant coach.

Dean started to get a little tired of doing this, and once they took their first water break he told me he was done and didn't want to do soccer anymore. So he sat with me and watched most of the rest of practice.

At the end of practice each of the kids got to score a goal so Dean wanted to run back out to the field for that. He had fun doing that so now he likes soccer again. We'll see how next week goes!
