The forecast suggested nice weather for today, so Josh organized another soccer practice a few days ago.  However, the day did not turn out that way; it stayed foggy and cold the majority of the day.  It was even sprinkling early in the morning.  But since we had committed to attend, we packed up snacks, but not lunch, to go to the park. 

    It was cold in the open, and the grass was slightly wet, but overall it was still fine for the practice.  Logan was average self today, the usual slight clinginess but did follow the coach’s instruction.  Connor is not part of the team, but he was very excited to follow what everyone was doing.  I kept him on the side without interfering others, but allowed him to copy the activities.  He participated in warm up even better than Logan did; he was stretching while smiling the whole time.  He did “Red light, Green Light” and stopped whenever told to do so.  He wanted to hold hands with others when they did the Ring Around the Rosie drill, so Stuart and I held hands with him in between us; he managed to keep up for a little bit.  When others were doing other harder drills, Connor just went back and forth dribbling the ball to the goal.  He was doing some very nice kicks.  Funny that this boy always knows his limit; after we dribbled for awhile, he suddenly picked up the ball, walked all the way back to our basket to put it away, and said “Done” to me.  We watched the practice to the end, and all the kids went to play at the structures.  Stuart had a chance to play basketball for a bit, and Connor wanted to join in too.  Later, we switched as Logan wanted to sit and watch Stuart while Connor went back to the playground.  Afterward, we went to grab lunch at a sandwich shop with one of the families, said our goodbyes and headed home for a nap.  The practice still turned out well despite the not so nice weather.
