The Coombs Family

Ronin decided this year that he does not like going to preschool anymore. He is so upset that he doesn't get to go to kindergarten with the big kids. So every morning he has school he is unbearable, but we did get him to school each time. I decided he needed some incentive to go, and after looking online a local gymnastics center started ninja school for kids. He is hooked and now, he doesn't complain about going to school. I didn't know how long we would do it, but it's been two months now and he has already learned a lot of really cool moves. Ronin can do cartwheels, hand stands, head stands, he jumps all over the couch doing flips into pillows, and it's hilarious. He has so much fun that my big kids think it looks like fun and want to join.

Calvin has been playing flag football for three years now. He plays both spring and fall ball with different clubs. This kid and his terrible eye sight has definitely had some upfront trials to overcome. His depth perception is really bad and so catching the ball has been extremely difficult for him. But over this last season, he has been working so hard and gets better every single game. He loves to play safety, he loves to rush the quarterback and pull the flag. He chases down every man for the flag, even if it's not his guy. He will outrun most of the guys on both teams, and is quite the sprinter. He has been exploding with energy during the games. I love that he is getting more competitive and is pushing himself. He has dreams of being in the NFL, obviously that's a reality that we encourage as parents.
