Soccer

We've been trying to get Meredith involved in a few activities this winter and spring. As you know, she took ice skating all winter and is currently taking swimming lessons. She seems to love both. We also signed her up for a 3-year-old soccer league at the YMCA. That has been a big, fat, fail. She seems to have no interest in it. She spends most of the time there asking when she will be done, wandering around, asking for snacks, sitting on the parents' chairs, etc. It's quite comical really. But she isn't too far off from some of the other 3-year-olds though. It seems that each team is comprised of this:

1 kid who is exceptionally good and can run and kick really well. (Drew)

1 kid who is pretty good that helps out the exceptionally good kid. (Josiah)

1 kid who sometimes plays, sometimes doesn't and will just stand around by the net most of the time (Kai)

1 kid who sometimes plays, sometimes cries, but spends most of the time sitting on the parents' chairs. (Kaitlyn)

1 kid who wanders around aimlessly, asks to go home, and spends the remainder of her time on the parents' chairs. (Meredith)

Today was the last day of soccer. I think we'll wait until next year to see if her interest in soccer has heightened at all. In the meantime, we'll continue with swimming lessons.

Anything to distract this kid from actually participating...

So, what else is going on at the Carlson household? Not too much. Greg got a new grill for his birthday which he recently assembled for use.
And we've been trying to sort though some stuff in the baby room. I got out all of Meredith's newborn clothes to wash and put in the baby dresser. Mer loved it and spread each piece of clothes neatly on the floor in the kitchen and living room.

And for your viewing pleasure, here is the baby belly at 24 weeks.
