Boys Soccer

Oh boy... it's been almost a month since the boys have started soccer. It has been so much fun watching both of them learn and become better in sports.

We took last year off from sports...and it was a nice break. But we needed some more outdoor, running around, getting our energy out things to do!

NOAH:
This year we can really tell he's growing up. When it comes to sports he's a little more 'into' the game. I think soccer is going to be his sport. He loves running around the field, chasing the ball. He's gotten a lot better at controlling the ball, not being afraid to get in there and get it away from the other players, and hustling. He's awesome!! And so much fun to watch!




I think he's even learned to watch his team to see what he needs to do and he's learned good sportsmanship. Not that he's ever been a bad sport, but you can just tell he's growing up.
And it's fun to watch!!


Cutler:
Oh.My.Word. Can I just say...watching Cutler's team is about the most entertaining thing we do all week. He's got to be the oldest one on his team, you can just tell they don't give a hoot about what they're suppose to be doing out there. Almost every game, Cutler plays the whole time because the other kids don't want to, or they need a break. But Cutler can run up and down the field for 25 minutes straight and not care.
His first game he was a little timid, not quite sure he should take the ball from the other kids, and maybe afraid to kick them?? That changed very quickly! This last week he scored 7 goals. And that's becoming the norm! He has never played any organized sport before, he's just too young. He was so excited when he found out I signed him up for soccer. Once in a while he'll pull out the little goal I bought and practice but not really. He can control the ball, and run fast. A great combination!





I love watching my boys learn new things and do things they enjoy!!
