While she was flat on the couch, the girl would tell me that she wanted a shirt with a number so that she could play soccer. So, we made soccer our goal!

The girl finished her first session of swimming and was promoted to Oskar 2! She also earned her goggles (from Mommy) for putting her face in the water every day, and painted toenails for being a good listener.

Session 2 of swimming started today!

Swimming has helped the girl get stronger, but the goal is to run and play soccer. I thought it would take us until fall to get there, but we’re giving it a try this week.

Lil’ Kickers Soccer started today. This class is for three year olds. It was hard to remember that you aren’t supposed to pick up the ball!

Learning footwork by “planting trees” (for those of you who forget what it’s like to be 3, the cones are trees and they had to get them standing using only their feet). The girl was pretty good at this:

After the trees were planted, the kids were supposed to move the ball through them without knocking them over.

The resulting “clear cut” caused the girl much distress.

Despite the loss of “trees”, the girl had a ton of fun and is excited for tomorrow!
