More Soccer

So as not to be a poor example to my kids, we are not quitting soccer despite the antics of Peter's first game.  Plus, Shawn was out of town and hasn't had the joy of watching him "play" soccer yet.
There is something very entertaining about watching 4 year-olds play soccer anyway.  Although, there are a couple of them that really get the game.  They make the others look bad.
They look like they are taking this whole soccer thing very seriously here.
He did do better this week.  He still ran in slow motion - always several feet behind everyone else, but still better.  No shirt over his head, no sitting in the nets, no sitting on the ball.  Definitely an improvement.
Here he is taking some practice shots before the game.
The team cheer.

Getting some inspiring words from the coach, I'm sure.
I guess Amelia wasn't exactly riveted by the action.


Oh, look how close he is to the ball.


He enjoyed his downtime - not in my lap.


We were a rowdy crowd.




You know, at this age soccer is really all about the snacks.

He even kicked the ball to his teammates.



Smiling and waving to his adoring fans.

And then he kind of "petered" out and spent some of the game sitting down on the field. 

I guess ther are worse ways to spend a Saturday morning.
