Soccer

Softball season is in full swing and that is my excuse for not keeping up with Parker's life right now! Bad Mommy!

Parker started soccer at the beginning of April. Kevin and I were so excited for him to start playing sports because next to playing Cars at home, that is a close second favorite thing to do - anything with a ball! We debated whether to put him in a league that plays games weekly or in a "micro league" where they just practice skills and then scrimmage the last bit of practice. Since Parker hadn't been around much soccer, we decided the micro league would be better for him. So how's it been going...Parker hates it! :) The first practice he spent the majority of practice in tears and totally mad. He didn't want to do what the coach was telling him, he didn't want to practice the skills - "just wanna score goals!" and he was mad because the kids wouldn't share. Poor Parker...we have been telling him all along to share with other kids and then when it comes to scrimmaging, those kids aren't sharing with him. He thinks that if he kicks the ball to him, then they should kick it back. NOPE! haha One day we will look back at this and laugh (but right now it is VERY frustrating!).
Not sure how we got these pictures without tears in his eyes, but hey...they look like he is having fun!



Aunt Cassie and Ellah came to root him on!
