This Spring we signed Mac and Corrie up for a community soccer program called "Soccer Shots." It was pretty low-key...just one day a week for about 45 minutes. It was just right for them, and it was pretty cute watching them!
Once again, the kids' individual personalities shone through. Mac, (so much like his Mama), aimed to please his coach and was hard on himself when he made a mistake. He loved all of the social interaction and especially the prizes and stickers.
Corrie, on the other hand, was content just going with the flow. Her little feet were so tiny compared to the big ball, and everything she did was so dainty. The first day the coach asked the kids to dribble across the practice area, and it took Corrie forever with her tiny little kicks! That night before bed when I asked the kids about their day, Corrie said, "Dribbling the soccer ball was really hard for me today....but I'm still happy!"
While watching the kids, I noticed that Corrie was often in her own little world. If the team was scrimmaging, she would be sitting in the goal picking flowers or twirling around in circles doing a "princess dance." I took the picture below and laughed when I zoomed in to see Corrie!
It's been fun watching the World Cup this summer, and Mac and Corrie love to show off their "super soccer kicks" that they learned this Spring!
