Cougars and Lightning Dinosaurs

James and Lynnlee each played on a soccer team this fall. James ended up on a team with boys from his preschool class last year so it was fun for him to play with them. Their team name was the Cougars. He had some games where he was totally focused and played really well. Other games he was distracted by a hang nail or his jersey. He had fun going each time to get a snack and drink at the end of each game.

It was Lynnlee's first time and I didn't know what to expect. She gets tired more easily but there really isn't a lot of running involved with little league soccer. I found out that Lynnlee is not aggressive and likes to avoid physical contact. She was really good about following the swarm of kids around the soccer ball without actually touching anyone or the ball and all while wearing a smile and giving us thumbs up every now and then. She did enjoy playing goalie and was fearless at jumping on the ball no matter how many feet around. Her team name was Lightning Dinosaurs which was chosed by all the kids. She didn't put up a fight going to games each week but at the end of the season she said she doesn't want to play in the spring. That's alright with me. It will be fun to see her try out other activities.
