Watch out David Beckham

Ethan has been taking Saturday soccer classes by an outfit called Kids Love Soccer. They do a good job of coming up with different learning drills about colors, animals, etc. to mask the fact that they're just making the kids dribble aka 'little kicks' from cone to cone. They do get to knock down cones and score goals. Liz came recently and got to play "lion jumps out and scares the giraffe" which I believe is getting them accustomed to stealing the ball from others. When I told Ethan "You need to not kick the ball too far when dribbling because when you play real soccer there's only one ball and the other kids will try to take it away" he responded, not suprisingly, "Why?". I think soccer with multiple balls could actually be pretty cool.
