Sibling Rivalry

By Leslie Parks - Monday, March 16, 2009



These two are best friends and worst enemies. Actually they are great friends. Since soccer season has started we have started soccer training at home. The kids still have their chess work to do but soccer has become more important. So today I sent these two outside and "made" them play soccer. For the first 15 minutes Isaac took shots on goal, Job being the goalie. Job wants to be goalie so he needs practice. Isaac will be mid-fielder and needs practice with his accuracy. Then for the next 15 minutes (of which my camera and I were part) they played one on one. There was a point that Job was a little disheartened but we do allow using the shoulder.
He did snap out of it and then went head on with Isaac. Job at times can be faster than Isaac, and he does put forth a lot of energy to compete with Isaac. A little competition between brothers can be a healthy thing. You just have to know when to pull these two back.
