Soccer class!

Sawyer just completed his second eight week "soccer class."

I use quotation marks because they don't really play soccer -- there's a lot more bubble chasing than ball kicking -- and it isn't really much of a class. Still, we've been doing it for the last 16 weeks or so, and it's become our Saturday morning routine.

Anyway, here's a little snippet of video from the final class. This was how it went: the "coach" would call your name, you would go jump over some cones and then score a goal. But after Sawyer saw the first kid go, he wanted to go without waiting his turn. When I didn't let him, he threw an enormous fit -- and coach Lalah called his name during the fit, and of course he wouldn't go at all.

After everyone had gone she gave him one more chance, and he did great.
