Soccer!

Noah started soccer last week! A few weeks ago, Daniel and I showed him videos of soccer and of karate and asked him which one he wanted to learn how to do. He picked soccer. Then, when Daniel told him I had signed him up, he collapsed on the floor in tears saying he didn't want to do soccer! Two days before, when I told him soccer started in two days, he cried again! He finally told us he didn't want to change schools! Poor dude--he thought he had to leave his friends at school to play soccer! Once we had him convinced he could still go to the same school, he was a little more ready to try, but still cried before we left the house because he said he was too nervous to try. But as soon as he got to the field, Daddy joined him for the first few minutes to kick the ball a little bit, and he never stopped smiling. Now he can't stop talking about how fast he is and how good he is at kicking the ball! Yay for courage and for building confidence!
