First Soccer Game

Here are some thoughts from Tyler's first soccer game this past weekend.

It was awesome.  By far, much, much better than I could've imagined.  I thought it would just be the kids all gathered around the soccer ball with a couple of break through kicks, but nothing too much more than a mob chasing around a ball.  Although a lot of this did happen, there was some resemblance of a game going on, which made it very interesting.  Even more interesting, Tyler just happened to be the star of his team - of course!  He was by far the most tenacious player out there- both on offense and defense!  He scored 4 goals for his team, 2 goals for the other team, and maintained an excellent sense of camaraderie throughout.  Well, not much teamwork going on I guess now that I really think back on things.  Tyler's coach did have to make him stay behind and play "goalie" for a few plays so someone else could have a chance with the ball.

Tenaciously playing defense

We all had a great time and I think I've caught a glimpse of what my future will be like with 2 boys.  Looks like fun.  Glad the whole family, plus Grandmama and Grandaddy, got to enjoy the big game.

Directly after the game,  Mommy:  "Tyler, how many goals did you score?"
Tyler:  "20."
5 minutes later, Daddy:  "Tyler, how many goals did you score?"
Tyler:  "30."
Later that morning at brunch, Nana (on the phone checking out how the big game went): "Tyler, how many goals did you score?"
Tyler:  "100."

Sam even had a good time.
