Soccer

Last night was the first night of soccer practice. The boy was pretty excited. There were probably 60 kids in his group (they broke them down to about 6 kids per coach for 10 "teams"). We have been playing in the back yard where we try to take the ball away from him (he also adds some of his own strange rules). Leading up to the practice he kept saying that he wasn't going to let any of the kids take his ball away. When we first got there I think he was a bit overwhelmed. We got his shirt and walked down to the fields and we said go get 'em. He said, "I am not playing with all of those kids." It didn't take him long to get out there though. He threw his ball out into the field, where everybody was kicking around with the coaches and parents, and chased after it. He likes to drop back about 30 yards and then and kick the ball (he's pretty tired by the time he actually gets to the ball). He's in the same group as cousin Tyler. He listened well and stayed pretty focused. We had to strong arm Isaac to keep him off the field.
