Soccer!

It is soccer season!  All three of the kids wanted to play this time.  We started out with three different teams, but Jonah ended up switching over to Caitlyn's team, which will make our lives so much easier!  Jonah's friend is also playing on the team so his dad can coach him and his brother.  Jonah can handle playing a grade up and I'm so glad he is playing on the big field.

I am so impressed with Caitlyn.  Caitlyn isn't an aggressive person, but she is getting in there and doing great.  I love seeing her get in there and fight for the ball.  She is playing so hard and doing so well! She is really enjoying it so far.

Jonah played great today.  This is Jonah's first time playing on a full size field.  He is used to covering the whole field, but he realized today that you can't do that on the big field.  You have to play positions or you will wear yourself out.  Jonah did a great job and has no problem keeping up with the older kids.

I loved seeing my kids out there playing together.  Their coach is so funny.  He was screaming (in a good way) the whole time.  There were so many missed opportunities that drove him nuts!  I think he will whip them into shape at practice on Monday.

The kids were excited that their cousins came to watch today.  Wyatt loved sitting by Elijah during Caitlyn and Jonah's game. 

I was a little nervous about Wyatt playing because he gets upset and cries easily.  He has done great though.  The game is crazy because the kids are only 3 and 4-years-old and most of them have never played before. 

Wyatt is doing great at getting in there.  They don't have goalies at this age, but if Wyatt sees the other team heading toward his goal he runs down there and stands in the net and blocks them.  He does a really good job protecting the goal.  He will be a great defender.

I love seeing him get in there and play.  I'm so glad he is doing so well and having so much fun.  I love spending my Saturdays watching soccer games!
