Not exactly twins on the Soccer Field....

These season Rachel joined Callum on the soccer field playing for the Dragons and it wasn't exactly a duplicate experience.

I love the twins soccer team, except for the one tough fact that they practice clear across town but since my hubby takes them, I just really love our soccer team.  Coach Brock is the most patient man with this hybrid team of silly boys and princess girls.  It's a great experience and I'm glad they shared it together as twins.

 Callum loved it.  He did really great this season and was a consistently strong player and made a few goals (which for our team each goal counts).  He felt really great at the end of the season and he can't wait for the next season.

Rachel on the other hand really struggled.  This is a girl who loves just thriving and being the best at everything.  Each game she didn't score a goal, which was every game this season, she kicked herself about it a lot.  It broke my heart.  I told her it was all about trying and having a good time but she still felt bad.  As a mom I wish I could help her understand being new to a sport there is going to be a learning curve and sometimes our bodies don't naturally go to one particular thing or another (I never learned one of her amazing cartwheels).

The thing about my twins is that they are incredibly different.  The special bond they have isn't what they have in common but the special bond each of them shares.  They will go hand in hand in life and those shared experiences both good and bad and each moment will be better because of it.
