Leo's Soccer Game and Nora's Singing Career

Today was Leo's last soccer game.  He has really had a lot of fun playing soccer this season.  This is the forth season Leo has played soccer.  He played soccer in South Pittsburg, TN (only about 10 minutes from our house).  He is starting to really understand the rules.  I like how laid back it is.  They don't really keep score, everyone gets to play, and it seems to be more about having fun than just winning.  For me, that is what sports should be about when you are 5-6 years old.  Leo loves the constant running and kicking in soccer.  Leo, however, gets rough sometimes.  He gets right in the action and isn't afraid to push and throw an elbow when he wants to get to the ball first.  If we did keep score, Leo would be the first to get a red card.  I am glad that he is having fun, but he needs to learn that he can't always be first.  I think working as a team is helping this.  He is actually starting to understand that it is ok for your teammates to score because that means your whole team gets a point.  It's been fun watching him play and seeing the proud look on his face when he scores. 

Nora's favorite part of soccer is playing with the rocks!

After the game today, Leo's team had a pizza party at the park.  The best part of playing soccer, according to Leo, is the trophy!!!

Nora loves soccer too.  Ok well she loves to dress up in Leo's soccer uniform! 

 It's funny to see Nora's personality developing.  She is a diva for sure!  Nora loves to sing and dance.  Earlier this week, I was driving Nora to her daycare.  I had the radio on because we have to hear "jams" as Leo calls them, while we drive.  Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" came on.  Nora started singing along.  I cracked up.  You really haven't lived until you hear a two year old trying to sing along with Adele!  She was getting in to it too.  Seeing her moves was the funniest part.  In Nora's mind I guess she was performing at the Grammy's or something.  Who knows, I could be telling this story to People magazine when Nora gets her first big break!

Nora loves Chuck!
