This year we are enrolling Cody in what they call Itty Bitty Ball at the rec center. Each session focuses on a different ball sport for boys. We are hoping that this will give him a chance to experience a wide variety of sports of see if he takes to one more than the others. At the beginning of October he participated in Football. This was his first experience participating in a disciplined activity (besides gymnastics) with teachers other than his mom. He was really nervous and shy at first but by the end of the session he was participating fully in each of the activities. They did a really good job of exposing the boys to the most basic aspects of football and by the end of the session the 3 and 4 year old boys were kind of playing flag football.
He learned how to kick the football.
He learned how to make a goal and how to play defense.
He learned how to throw the ball (he has actually got an amazing throw).
And at the end they got to meet Leo the Lion. This was the only picture we were able to take with Leo and I think that it turned out GREAT! (Somebody walked right in front of me holding a balloon when I snapped the picture)
