Soccer Babes

Hubby is a huge soccer fan. So during his last trip to China, he bought 2 sets of Manchester United's Number 10 shirts for the Bees. And insisted that they had to wear these soccer jerseys for our regular weekend breakfast at Botanic Gardens. The Bees were both thrilled to be decked out in "adult" soccer wear!


Exhilarated Bees horsing around in their soccer gear and monkeying around with a tiny ball! 

The Bees attracted a lot of amused and interested gazes, mainly from other fathers! The Bees, being the typical super-active and energetic girls that they are, launched into their soccer personas like fishes in water. They ran endlessly at top speed around the lush greenery of the expansive meadow at the Shaw Foundation stage. They jostled with each other for the miniscule ball that Hubby brought for fun. They performed stunning football kicks, especially Big Bee, thanks to Hubby who was such a great coach to them. 

Little Bee's energy levels flagged first, ambling languidly to me and sat on my lap shortly. However, Big Bee had amazing endurance and outstanding sportswomanship - she continued kicking the ball with Hubby for a protracted period of time! 


Check out all the Bees' soccer kicks and flairs, especially Big Bee's professional-looking kicks! Click on the photo for a bigger version of this. 

I had such fun laughing and watching them play, and participating once in a while. Bringing the kids outdoors, basking them in the sun and indulging them in vigorous sports play is fundamental to instill a love for nature in our children, and to inculcate in them an innate passion for efficacious and active lifestyles in future. 

I am expecting more soccer play very soon!

Yellowgiraffe: They sure had fun. In fact, we had lots of fun too! I think we are living vicariously off their childhood, reliving moments that we used to cherish, or going through activities that we could not do during our childhood!
