My Little Soccer Player

We signed Trey up for soccer. Does he look tough or what! His team is the Orange Dragons, he is #28. When we told him we had signed him up he said "Will people cheer for me?" "yes of course" I said. With big bright eyes he asked "And will they pick me up in the air?" Love that kid.

When I was pregnant with Trey we would call him "our little soccer player" because he would kick so hard it hurt, and now he really is our little soccer player.


So far he has had one practice and two games with another game tonight. There have been scheduling conflicts so he will have 2 more games before he gets another practice.

Considering his lack of experience with the sport I think he is doing pretty good. Mostly the boys just chase the ball around the field, occasionally kick it, but mostly just run. It's so cute.

I have seen some improvement already. Kicking the ball and chasing it down and kicking it again, instead of just kicking it once and staying put. Last game the Dragons scored three goals for their team and one goal in the opponents net. :o)

But let's not forget he is only 5, so he is just as likely to be seen spinning in circles or playing in the net while the game is in play.

We will definitely do this again in the fall. And I think we will be able to get Smith in to. Technically his birthday is 5 days past the deadline, but I think we can make it happen...
