Ian also did a little soccer camp this fall. He pretty much gets dragged around to all his brothers' stuff and doesn't do much of his own. He was so excited about it. I'm not really sure he learned much about soccer, but he had lots of fun and he loved his uniform and ball. The coaches were extremely patient with a bunch of three-year-olds that included the whiniest child I have ever met (that was not Ian by the way)!
Luke played his first season of competitive soccer this year. It was a learning experience for all of us. We are committed for the rest of this year and then we need to re evaluate. He had a lot of fun at times but grumbled and was tired of it at others. Luke is a pretty good soccer player, but he really struggles to focus and give his full effort. He just doesn't have much competitive drive yet. His team really struggled at first and we had lots of losses, but they learned a lot. They ended up winning three games including their last two in a row. They played their last game against the "A" team of their same club. They won! That was definitely a great victory and way to end the season. Luke's coach is a very nice guy. He was one of the guys that drove around in the car w/hydraulics in the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Luke thinks that's so cool. The fact that Luke has had lots of fluid on his ears since the beginning of September didn't help much. He cannot hear very well at all and will be getting tubes in about three weeks if it doesn't get better. Anyway, the verdict's still out on our future with comp soccer but winter conditioning starts next week. If nothing else it's great exercise!
