This morning before soccer we walked in a one mile family fun walk for cancer. Ben’s sister Penny works for a local hospital and they along with the Four Seasons put this walk together to help raise money for the fight against cancer. The kids just loved it. Isabelle ran pretty much the whole mile with Dad, she got a little distracted by some pine cones and walking on the “balance beam” but other wise she was off. I was pretty excited and wished that I could have run with her, but you know the belly makes that a little hard. Ben was very impressed with her and she had so much fun. Then after running her mile, she came back to the start area and proceeded to bounce for half an hour on one of the two bounce houses they had set up. Wouldn’t that be nice to have so much energy?
Bear of course was fascinated with everything. He started out running which is ok for me to keep up with since he has short legs and I can just walk a little bit faster, but then he lost interest in that and started to walk. Then jump over the road markers that help drivers know they are changing lanes. He also found some acorns to play with, but once he saw Isabelle he wanted to be with her but again lost interest in running and did the roadside “balance beam” just like Isa. It was pretty cute, until the end of the race started to catch up with us and we needed to move along before the 5K run started to pass us as well. He was too funny!
Plus today was Isabelle’s last soccer “game” and she had so much fun. They did the regular skill building before hand and then played against the other team for a while. She did a great job of helping her team out and she even scored a goal. She was very excited about that, especially since she really likes to have the ball in her possession. I think she will be a little bit competitive as she gets older. Hopeful will be put to good use and she won’t be overly crazy about winning, I guess we’ll have to teach her the right way to be competitive. I’m sad to see her first soccer season end, we’ll just have to pick it up in the spring again.

Oh, how fun! I can't wait to be a soccer mom...we're almost there. You can start soccer at three (on most teams) and there is one starting in May or June next year so we'll be there. I'm just sad that Amelia will have to play with us 'rents on the sidelines until she is old enough. How is Bear watching Isa play? Is it crazy hard for him to sit and watch?
Bear does ok, he does want to get up to play with her, but since he has his soccer on Wed, that helps. You might want to look into soccer buddies over at the indoor soccer area where we played before. That might be a good option for the girls too.
