Punt Practice

Soccer has been great for Shane. It's social, requires exercise, and he finds it fun.

But never has Shane ever gleefully practiced any sport when I offer to practice with him.....until now!

Shane had to set goals in school and one of his goals was to "get better at punting."

"Want to practice?" I asked.

"Sure!"

I was surprised when Shane took me up on the offer. Then I was more surprised when I was the one ready to go in first! I didn't want to say quit, though, so we kept at it. Eventually Carrie came up from talking to someone at the barn and joined us, too!

Poor Loki was going nuts watching from inside!

I let him out when I went inside to poop (You can only put that off so long...).

Shane practicing wasn't a one off thing. We went out each night for three nights in a row! On Friday, we went to explore a new playground and when no one was there we looked up a video on proper goalie punting. 

We ended "practice" with him trying to punt the ball off the top of the playground while I filmed it. Nothing video worthy, but it kept us entertained in the fall air!
