I won a gift certificate for two soccer lessons with Kinderkicks at the Montessori auction, so I thought it was a good time to try out sports with Brady (We have been a little hesitant to try the team sports for Brady because of the unsuccessful attempts with Connor). I'm glad we did. Today was Brady's 2nd soccer lesson with Kinderkicks and he did great! Last week, the 1st lesson was held inside due to weather and he was a little hesitant in the beginning. I thought he was being Connor Jr. right off the bat with his head glued to the shoulder. After a brief warm-up period and some brotherly assistance from Connor, he quickly joined in the fun with the other kids. By the end, he was wanting to tell the teacher everything.
Tonight, the lesson was outside at the soccer field and what a beautiful evening for it. Brady was very focused on listening to what the teacher had to say and other than a little reservations during stretching, he participated the entire time. In addition to getting the kids to kick the ball (rather than using hands), Ms. Janet also introduced counting, identification of colors, matching of colors, and learning left from right during the lesson. By the way, Brady showed that he knew these things and just needs practice on the Soccer basics. At the end of class, Brady told Ms. Janet that he would see her next week and she said he did great. Future soccer star...maybe! Since he did so great, I think we will continue going for a little bit. Plus, mommy enjoyed the one-on-one time she was able to spend with Brady at the field and talking about the evening on the way home.
