Soccer Shots: Day 4

Today was the last day of Soccer Shots for Isabel. I think we might just stick with Tumbling Tykes since she really seems to like that more.

Learning their new move… juggling. Juggling is were you bounce the ball on your knee (or any body part for that matter) several times without touching it with your hands or dropping it. In Isabel’s class however they just had to bounce it once on their knee and catch it. Isabel did an amazing job with this! She was even alternating knees!… left leg.

More juggling practice… right leg.

Playing the “Bumble Bee” game and learning another new move, passing. Passing is using the inside of your foot to pass the ball to another player. In the bumble bee game, Stephanie and Niki were hungry bears and the kids were the bees with honey. The kids had to dribble the ball and then “pass” the ball/honey to either Niki or Stephanie. The kids seemed to really like this game… maybe I can practice with Isabel in the yard. She could be the bee and I could be the bear or the other way around!

Isabel the bee passes to Niki the bear.

More practice with passing, this time however they had to pass to either Niki or Stephanie and then shoot a goal. Great job Isabel!

More relay today. Isabel was fast with this today. Dribble and keep that ball in control.

Almost to the goal. Looking good Isabel!

Goal! Woohoo!

Special stickers for the end of class. Great job!

Snow-Fun

Last night the snow started falling again and this morning we woke up to a world of white. Isabel started asking me as soon she was finished up with breakfast if she could go outside and play. Enjoy!

All layered up and ready to go!

This is not a snowman, she says but a snow pie. Piled high.

I made Daisy come outside as well and even put her shoes on to keep the cold off her paws. She’s not looking to happy with me about now… BIG BABY!

After piling her pie higher then before; she sat on it.

Daisy looking a bit happier to be outside (even with her shoes on!) BUT only after I said the “WORD”… TREAT!

We found her sand shovel and she started digging. She said she was digging the snow for Daisy to jump in.

After being out in the cold, it was time for “snowman soup” (hot chocolate) and lunch…

… she got a little crazy with the candy cane that I gave her! It was everywhere!
