Soccer Practice

The kids went to soccer practice today. Stephen is on his 3rd season and this is Chloe's first season. Practice is at different schools so Kathi took Stephen and I took Chloe.

Chloe ran around crazy as did all the other kids. The coach is new and has never coached before.
What I am discovering is that no one is stepping up to help. I think we all feel we paid our fees and should have a competent coach. But, it looks like a few of us are gonna try to step up. If it does not get better, Chloe can wait a year or so...

Stephen is strong and fast, but small for his size. Some big kid told him he was to small to play. The kid was bullying other children. We are gonna have to teach Stephen how to deal with bullies and also feel confident, even if he is smaller then the others...
