Soccer!

Brennan is enjoying soccer, as you can see:) I haven't gotten a whole lot of pictures because I'm not really supposed to be there. If you remember my first soccer post when Brennan cried because he wanted to be with me. Well, this is really ridiculous (but it works) I can go, but I have to stay under cover:) I pretty much stand with Casey because Brennan doesn't pay attention to the crowd, but when he comes to get a drink I take cover until he is back on the field. We just didn't want to risk another unproductive practice so thought this was the best way;)

They always do drills for the first part and he really enjoys those, I think it's his favorite part. The coach has them do all sorts of things, here they were running when the coach held up the green flag and stopping on the red flag and Brennan just thinks it's the most fun thing!

At the end they play little scrimmage games, no scores. It's pretty comical to watch them play. Especially when you tell 4 year olds they can't touch the ball with their hands:)

Brennan really just runs up and down the field with the other kids and if the ball happens to come his way then he'll kick it around a bit. Otherwise he is happy just running around:)

Soccer and such

I have been a total blog slacker, but I decided to post a few pictures (I've been slacking in that department too!)

So here is one thing Brennan does with my phone when he plays with it. He usually plays Angry Birds, does finger painting on it, watches videos on youtube (funny kitties), but usually he takes random pictures and videos (as seen below). So I get my phone back and these are the kind of pictures I find..

as well as random pictures of the floor, the wall, etc. He is a silly boy! It's really funny to look through my pictures and be surprised to find goofy pictures like this-it's not a perfect smiling, centered picture, but I love it because it's my sweet boy being his carefree amazing self!

I think my last post I mentioned that Brennan was starting soccer. His first practice was cancelled due to the rain:( So his first real practice was last weekend. He was listening, paying attention and participating really well, until I got there. Brennan apparently then decided that he didn't like soccer and proceeded to cry and run to me every 5 seconds. I debated whether or not we should just leave because what is the point of sitting there in the heat if he isn't playing, but I decided to walk him out onto the field and once I got him out there I thought I would slowly move to the side. Yeah, that didn't work. He just kept running back to me crying wanting me to sit right next to him and the other kids while the coach was talking to them. Then they started playing little mini games (practicing) so I had to go out with him and basically hold his hand while he is running down the field-what else can you do but laugh?! It was rather silly. Casey was really frustrated and decided that I am not allowed to come anymore;) As it turns out I will not be able to attend every other practice anyway because I work weekends, but a girl at work suggested I go in disguise and blend with the crowd on the days I can go-now that sounds like a plan!:)

So as if the whole fiasco with him not wanting to play wasn't bad enough-I brought my camera and no memory card so I only got a couple of pictures with my phone. I did get him in action doing some drills during practice:)

Not the most perfect morning, but in scheme of things, not worth stressing over either!
