Now, I know I posted this spring about E playing t-ball. What a hoot that was to watch all these 3 year olds running base to base, hitting the balls with these giant helmets on, and the oh-so-cute waves from 2nd base to mommy! But, we couldn't stop there...we are bound and determined to give E all the experiences and exposure to as many sports as we can possibly muster-- hopefully ending in a definitive interest in at least one. So, this fall, the choice was Soccer! Not from mom or dad, from E. He has wanted to play soccer since the spring. So, over the weekend, he had his first game of soccer. What an experience...
Before the game: Can you find E?? Take a minute, look closely....yep! He is the one IN the goal net. And, now let the laughing from the sidelines begin!
He wasn't quite sure during this first game. He had a small meltdown, because he wasn't given the ball all the time! Such a fun teaching moment for mom: "E, we have to share the ball as a team. You want to keep it away from the blue team!"
Here he is waiting for the other team to kick it off. He loves to just stand there sometimes!! We were laughing. Sometimes we forget how hard it is to learn something new. Wow! We are so looking forward to the 7 more games!
