The boys had their first soccer game today. We didn't play soccer at all last year, but we thought we'd give it another try this year. At this point, we don't see a soccer scholarship in their future - but they are having fun and that is really all that matters. They are on a newly formed team (The Monkeys) and they played a team today that has probably been together for at least the last year - it really showed, but there was no whining from our boys, which was a huge step up from 2 and 3 years ago.
Ryan does seem to keep up with what is going on with the game, he just doesn't have the skills yet to be very effective. Luke isn't in his own world when he plays, but there is no since of urgency on his part or an understanding that he needs to take the initiative to contribute - there is a lot of skipping around after the ball - but it is pretty fun to watch him.
Everyone one's favorite part at the end of the game is running through the parent tunnel - Ryan really likes this because he can yell as loud as he wants.
A sweet close-up of Luke's dirty face.
And here they are when they were 3 at their very first game.
