Travis has been wanting to play soccer for a long time now and it finally worked out that he could play (and I could watch) since I am not working on the weekends anymore (until after baby sometime). So Travis had his first soccer game this past weekend and he loved it! I heard him say, "Thanks mommy, for signing me up for soccer" completely unprompted! So I can trust the sincerity of his comment. He was on the green team this game and they did very well!
Pop and Justin were cheering. Go Travis!
And Justin took a couple of pictures too. After the game was over.
Randy commented that he had heard about little kids sports games but he had never seen one in person. It is quite a sight to watch "swarm ball" and see the ball miss the goal after rolling for 10 feet and all the kids just standing by to see what happens. At this age it is very easy to see who has played before and who hasn't. (Travis hasn't.) We all had a great time cheering for all the players on both sides and laughing and groaning at the funny plays. We see how Travis' overdramatic personality translates to team sports. He falls all over the field and runs around the ball rather than running at it to kick it. He is also a good assistant coach as he was reinforcing all the head coach's comments. He is playing in a church league and he got a sticker for Christlikeness for remembering his Bible verse and encouraging his teammates. So far this has been a great experience. The whole family is loving it!
