Soccer!!!

K finally has his own activity and he is really starting to like it.  Soccer was a bit rough at first, which is not the reaction I expected at all.  He has lots of energy and is really outgoing and he was in tears the first practice, refusing to play.  The only think I can think of is that the situation was new and totally out of his control, which brought him to a place that he didn't want to go.  We haven't seen his issues in a while, but we haven't done anything out of the norm in a while either.  We worked through it and thankfully he is very food motivated and fairly easy to bribe.  Sounds bad, but when he's refusing (screaming and crying) to put his uniform on before the game, offering a skittle seemed like a good idea.  It is amazing how quickly he can come out of it.

K has played several games and seems to get more excited each game.  He starts out great and then fizzles out a bit, but it is good that he will still run around.  He and some other kids got tripped up in the 2nd game and he fell down a few times.  His memory is nuts, so now he goes near the ball, but doesn't really kick it.  I think it will come with time and as long as he's having fun, I don't really care.  Crazy that some parents keep score at this age!  Fun video:

Many of his teammates went to Lowe's building day after the last game and he and Reggie built a beautiful fire truck :o).  When I saw this picture, I told Ryan he was brave to hold the truck while K hammered it and he said he learned the hard way that wasn't a good idea....K hammered his thumb :o(.
