soccer hooligan!

We recently enrolled Jonah in a "Mommy & Me" soccer class and he LOVES it!! He can't wait for Saturdays to roll around so he can go play. He loves the kids, the coaches, running around and playing with Mommy & Daddy! The class is set up so well - we were really impressed. They don't actually play soccer, but they do a lot of things to help with their gross motor skills and coordination, as well as following directions and listening to other people. He is one of the older kids in the class so he can kick the ball pretty well. The coaches have already told us he is ready to move up to the independent class for next session. That class is a little more "soccer" geared. But for now, he is loving this class and he always takes a good nap on Saturdays!

The scoop up little plastic balls with lacrosse sticks and run them to the goal. Jonah really likes this game!

Carrying his ball very carefully

They also practice balancing a soccer ball on the cone (like an ice cream cone!) and running it to the goal, where they dump the soccer ball.

Almost made it!
