Noah's soccer career has officially begun! This weekend he was on the white team, White Fury, and they played the orange team, Orange Crush. It was a highly competitive display of emerging athletic prowess.Just kidding. It was a group of six 4 and 5-year-olds and this was their first game ever. There were tears, there were stumbles, there were goals made for the wrong teams, there were some pooped out kiddos and some significantly abbreviated quarters as a result. And there was proof of their coach's affectionate likening of preschool soccer to herding cats.
It was precious. It was fun. It was a successful day.Noah scored one goal for the other team. And, in the heat of the moment, he also picked the ball up and ran with it once. On the upswing, he did score a goal for his own team. And he did not cry or fall or give up at any point in the game. Most importantly, he had fun. And we were so proud of him.
My boy in action.
Oh,what fun!!! He looks like he is really into it and having fun!
