I'm a "Panda" now!

Gavin is in the Panda class at Boulder Indoor Soccer now. I love to watch him stretch. He has Coach Tracy this time, and some kids affectionately call her "Coach Girl."

They're playing catch-the-tails in this picture, and I'm sure that my husband is just astonished (but not really) that I have no better name for that game. Gavin is good at running around and catching his teammates' tails, but some of them don't seem to appreciate that he does it. He's been so cute trying to process that lately, "But that's just part of the game."

I usually spend most of Gavin's soccer practices just chasing this little athlete around. We'll think about starting him pretty soon. He seemed to enjoy the trial class we did over the summer.

Is this cute or what? Gavin looks so official now with all of his soccer gear.

I can't get over how big he looks!!! You probably can't tell from this picture, but Gavin always ends his practices in a pool of sweat. I think he gets a good work-out there. He's really good at soccer and really seems to enjoy it, so I'm glad that we've pursued that sport with him.
