Emmy playing soccer with her purple sox

While we were waiting for Bo's practice to start, we tried to practice on our own. This is a good picture of Bo playing in the dirt in the background and Emmy dribbling to the goal. She wore her purple shorts and new purple socks pulled up like Bo. She was excited to play.

One thing that was funny was when I told her to dribble, she picked the ball up and tried to dribble like a basketball. She didn't understand dribbling in soccer was with your feet and basketball was with your hands.
Bo did have practice and did great for the first 30mins while the trainer taught them things, played them games, and pretended to be a slingshot.

After training they played a scrimmage against themselves. Since there were just 8 of them, it was 4on4 with no subs on a real small field. He did well for the first 5mins chasing down the ball and even dribbling with it for awhile. Then someone cut in front of him and stole the ball from him. He stopped and had a look on his face like what happened. After that he pretty much sat down and cried the rest of the scrimmage saying "I can't do it. It is too hard." We tried to convince him that his team needed his help but he just didn't want to try anymore.
