Our team scored the first three goals...for the other team. It was pretty funny and both teams were pretty proud.
His idea of playing soccer is running with the pack and not touching the ball. I kept yelling, "kick the ball!" and he would just turn and shrug his shoulders and smile like he was playing like a pro.
Patch then went to the typical game in the sky approach. I think he even scored a goal...in his mind.
He did really well and was just happy to be there, which is what it's really all about.
Alexa also started soccer. We signed her up at the last minute, so we don't really know the kids on her team but I thankfully know one of the parents (important fact in the story). So Tuesday was really busy for our family, Caely and Alexa had conflicting game times and they were both earlier games so I had to take them to both and Chris got to Caely's late to bring her home.
I dropped off Caely and Tyler early to the basketball game to find the doors were still locked and it was raining. I felt really bad leaving, but they sat in the doorway and were fine. I really needed to get Alexa to her game.
When we got to the soccer fields, we parked where we thought her team was, but then Alexa panicked. She couldn't see her coach and since we don't know the kids we couldn't figure out where to go. You'd think by looking at her jersey you couldn't miss them.
Because we were far away from her team, they looked smaller and we saw a pre-kindergartner in the same jersey and figured it must not be her team. I quickly called a friend to call the parent that I knew on the team to figure out where to go. In the mean time I drove home to look at the schedule figuring I FOR SURE got the time wrong. Nope! It was her team in front of us the whole time. She got there just in time for half-time.
She played really well and got right in there kicking after the ball. What a spunky little girl!
I was so proud of her play. She kicked so hard, her shoe came off at one point! She had a blast and can't wait for the next game.

I love that Patch is perfectly content to run his heart out and never touch the ball. So cute. And you are right, Alexa's jersey is a shocking shade of yellow/green! Hope they both continue to have a great time playing!
