Soccer Tryouts

Braylon had his first attempt at soccer this week. They had "tryouts" for the 3 year old Upward Bound soccer league. He did a good job considering he has never really played soccer before. He was more interested in running around the field then going through each of the drills. While there were kids there that have obviously been playing soccer longer, Braylon did a good job of holding his own. The season starts in a few weeks so we'll keep everyone posted.

Kingpin

Braylon participated in a bowling class/league this summer. He really seemed to enjoy it; a least for the first frame or so. Then he was more interested in the pizza and cake after each game. But the teachers were impressed with him being the youngest and staying focused for as long as he did. He even earned a trophy at the awards ceremony.

Southern Snow

I have a ton of pictures since I procrastinated so long to get this blog started. Therefore, I'm adding a few photos from the snow we had during March earlier this year. This was Braylon's first real experience with seeing snow and playing in it. He was complaining the snow was getting in his shoes so we had to go inside from time to time. He also tried to lick snow off of a stick (thought it was a snow cone maybe?) with not so desirable consequences. But I guess that's what 3 year olds do. Anyway, enjoy the pics...

Braylon's Swimming Lessons

Braylon started swimming lessons this summer. The lesssons consisted of six classes so I we didn't expect him to be an expert at the end. But he did get used to the water. The only thing was he never learned to close his mouth or hold his breath when they put his head under. So we had a lot of lessons with him crying for a few minutes. But the instructors did a good job of calming him down. By the end of the 6 weeks he was having a good time.
