soccer class

Ben has absolutely loved his soccer class at the rec center. I think he had a little crush on his teacher. He talked about her all the time and even wanted to invite her to his birthday party. She was an awesome teacher. She always had fun games to play with the kids. The last couple of classes it got warm enough to go out and practice in the field house. I always loved when we had it out there because the kids could run around a lot more. Ben was always so tired after soccer class.

taking a lap. Ben was very competitive with this little boy in front of him. The boy is so much bigger than Ben he usually won. Poor Ben was the smallest in the class. The class was for four year olds and Ben turned four while in that class and we all know my kids are pretty tiny.

Ben does have some awesome soccer skills though.

pure joy...

Claire learned to like the class too. The last day we were there it was scorching hot in the field house. They don't have air conditioning in there and it had been really hot the previous days so it was just like a sauna in there. The poor teacher. I took Claires jeans off because I was afraid she was going to over heat.

Ben was so excited, Dave worked from home so he could go in and see Ben play soccer the last day. He was showing off for daddy all class.

Comparing medals with his friend Calvin. They had so much fun together. They start an intro to sports class this week that I hope will be just as successful.
