Goal!

Soccer season has begun and is in full swing! This is our first year with two players. Since Zachary was two years old and Tyler had his first season, he has been wanting to "have his own soccer". A few practices and two games later he is having a great time! And he has improved so much just during his second game this past Saturday. During his first game two weeks ago, he had a hard time keeping up with the ball, stopped at the edge of the field to run up a hill and take his time to examine a hole in the ground and think about what animals might be living inside, and when the other team took the ball from him he got in their face and very passionately shared his displeasure about it! This past Saturday though he kept up with the ball, didn't yell at anyone and scored his very first
goal!!!! We were so proud of him and he was quite proud of himself!



Tyler had a great game as well. When he first began soccer two years ago at age four, he had no idea what was going on! During the middle of the game he would just lay down in the field for a break. Thankfully he doesn't lay in the field now (although it was funny when he was four!) and he really tries to go after the ball. He loves to hear us cheer and that always makes him run faster. Saturday he was able to try playing goalie for the first time and that really seemed like a good fit for him. He stopped three goals!



So it is going to be a big time commitment but we are exposing our boys to different things, giving them choices. And as long as they are having fun, that's our main goal!
