So Saturday both boys had swim lessons. This was Daniel's first and he did well, smiling the whole time as is his usual demeanor. And for James it was his first in the big pool, without Dad or Mom sitting right there, and he did very well, even kicking out in the deep end with the noodle for assistance.
Then we went to Dillon's basketball game in the afternoon, which did not go as well, I am not sure if his team was receiving much real coaching. They got thumped pretty hard by a PAL team.
Both events helped me make a decision though, I am not going to attempt to coach either boys in soccer this year. Not even as an assistant. James needs to get used to other coaches, having Dad just as a cheerleader. And I am going to try and make sure Daniel gets the same coach that James has had, because she is really good with the younger kids. It is going to be hard if James doesn't appear to be getting coached well, but I have a plan for that, and it wouldn't be fair to Daniel to have me focus on James. So I will try to even things out by not coaching either one.
