Sport Crazy

Wow, it has been a busy month. We are crazy into sports now. Soccer season has started for Wesley and despite the "organized chaos" of 4 year olds playing soccer; Wesley is having a blast. There are only a couple of kids who actually play and Wesley is one of them. He even scored a goal last week. Of course, it takes a lot of yelling from the sidelines to keep him focused. I feel like one of those lunatic soccer moms you see on TV yelling at her child. We keep him motivated by saying things like, "Stop picking the daisies," Stop playing tag and chit chatting with your friends", "Keep your eye on the ball", "No the one on the ground, not in the sky", "Kick the ball the other way," etc. Besides having everyone look at me, it really is fun. Is Wes having fun? Wait
was that me on CNN Ireport?





Wes has also been on his bike alot. He went to the newly reconstructed BMX track with dad. Wow, did it look scary. They said they made if faster, more like the Olympic track. It was definitely fast, Wes raced down the track and even had a pretty bad spill. However, he got right back up and did it again. He really amazes me.

Doesn't this look SCARY?




Wes was also in a bike race during the Vista Grand Prix in Columbia. He was going to be in the family ride, but Daddy felt it would not be challenging enough for him to ride up hill 100 yards with a bunch of kids with training wheels. So.... Dad had him race with the 8-10 year olds. That was scary for me. I felt like the mommy bird who just threw her bird out of the nest. He had to race downtown through 1 city block. I wonder if all my rules messed him up? The Don't ride in the street rule was thrown right out the window since the race was in the street. Yikes!!! Anyway, he took the lead the first 100 yards and then I guess he got a little nervous because it took him a while to come around the corner. "Wait where is everyone? "Once he did though, all of our biker friends and the crowd were cheering him on. That was cool. He didn't win, but he thinks he did. It was a great experience for him. Whew, glad that is over.




















Lauren is in Nymnastics and I think she likes it. Sometimes she wants to do what she wants to do, but the coach says that is to be expected. They are always talking about how strong her abs are and that she will be a great gymnast, nymnast? Well, she has been doing the boat pose since she was a baby. So, what do you expect? :)





Oh, and by the way, Lauren is potty trained. 2 weeks and no accidents. She even wears panties to school. Yippee!!!
