Soccer time!

We've been enjoying soccer practice twice a week and 2 games on Saturday for the last month or so. Morgan is old enough this year so we asked her if she wanted to play. She said she did so we thought we'd go for it. Morgan is generally a happy girl and generally up for doing anything. The first soccer practice was great, the first game, not so much. She did great the first half and then didn't want to go back in after half time. I wondered what we had gotten ourselves into by signing her up, but she has come around. With some helpful encouragement and coaching from daddy on the sidelines, as of last week, Morgan now plays all practice and all game without tears! She is pretty proud of herself and so are we. I won't say she is the most aggressive, nor is she always paying attention to what is going on, but she has fun and she doesn't cry. Success in my book!

Ethan is in his second year of soccer. He is loving it and has grown a lot since last year. I think being a year older and playing soccer everyday at recess has helped his confidence and ability. It is fun to watch him and those he plays with. He is the youngest in his league, so he has some pretty good players on his team. He is doing a great job. Our little guy is growing up!
