Backyard Soccer

Last week Nathan took Dallin outside to work with him on kicking the soccer ball with the correct part of his foot. He is starting to get really good at it, but best of all he loves it. Mandy of course had to join in too. She makes sure that she is never left out of anything. Yes, it is 88 degrees outside. And yes, she is wearing a sweater. Our little Mandy girl is so very strong willed and it seems that we are constantly battling with her. Sometimes I think that I say no to her more often than I say any other word, which is really rather sad. So sometimes instead of telling her no, I just let it go. If she wants to wear a sweater to play soccer in the backyard and sweat like a little pig, then she can sweat. Eventually she'll learn on her own and then maybe we won't have to be telling her no so very often.
