Soccer Practice

Practice #2 went much better for Mali and for Eric. Mali listened pretty well to the new coach, Coach Joshua (the Amarillo High soccer player that is going to coach the girls). He did great with them and it was fun watching them run drills and actually learn about soccer. Mali said that she had fun at practice. There were a few instances were Mali was busy whining about a hangnail that was bleeding and talking with another player on them. During one drill, she did tell Eric and Coach Josh "I can't do that", but once she tried she could do it. I didn't see a lot of the practice because I took the stroller (and Eleri) walking around the park. But, it was much better and much more fun for all parties. Their first game is April 18th and it should be interesting!

On another Mali note, last night was the preschool open house at Paramount Baptist. We talked with the Pre-k 5's teacher about what to do next year with Mali; either 4's or 5's. After talking with the teacher, we decided that she will go to Pre-k 5's next year. It is in the afternoon from 12-3, so that should be an interesting change in pace for us.
