Another round of Toddler Sports Academy started up just yesterday afternoon. Before they get going on their sport-of-the-day, Coach Josh starts them out with a big “go team!” huddle….!
Then they do warm-ups…jumping jacks, hopping on one foot, skipping, duck-walking, marching, a few sprints, etc…! Here’s Dylan doing his jumping jacks!
Then they practiced catching grounders with their alligator arms….
We’re super stoked that Finley, Dylan and Cleo are all in the same session again! Dylan and Finley practiced throwing and catching grounders to one another (after Finley sweetly declared that he was partnering up with Dylan!).
Yep, Cameron was in tow (it was really the MLK holiday, so we all got to join Dylan and Tom), and as soon as the kids ditched the softballs, she was all over them….
Worried that they’d come back and snatch them away from her (so hard being the youngest!), she tried to gather ALL of the balls up for herself. She was even asking me for help! Sadly (for her), I just took pictures and laughed.
Clearly, she was having just as much fun as Dylan! As always, she wanted to be in on whatever the bigger kids were doing, too.
After a while, though, she decided to bail and head for the playground. Once “practice” was over, Dylan and Tom joined us on the playground for a few more minutes of play until we all decided it was time to eat some yummy, yummy dinner at Dharma’s!
It was a nice way to ease back into our regular routine after such a fun long weekend!
Back Log: It’s hard to believe that, a year ago today, Dylan was in a splint and Cameron was this chubby, little 5-month old, cutting her very first teeth!
