Soccer

Andersen started soccer this past weekend. The last time he was in soccer was in the fall and the class took place during the day while Ron was working. Saturday morning Andersen was quite anxious and excited about Ron attending his soccer practice. The morning of while Ron slept in a little Andersen was questioning whether he was home and going to be able to come watch him play soccer. It made his day when Ron came down for breakfast. The difference between his soccer class in the fall and the Y soccer is he gets a soccer shirt and we bought shin guards and cleats. I let him pick out a pair of soccer shorts to start the season off with. Of course his favorite color at this time is Red so that was the color shorts he picked. The first thing that popped in my head when he picked out red shorts was what if the team shirts are green. He'll look like he's ready for christmas than thought the chances of that happening are slim to none. I didn't try to change his mind or talk him out of it b/c it's something for him to be excited about.

Saturday morning was much colder than we had anticipated. With trying to pack things to keep Jasper and Carter entertained, warm, and occupied with I totally forgot the camara. We walked the twins over to the field and Andersen met his coach and was handed a green shirt. I chuckled to myself. Ron ran around during practice with Andersen and they practiced kicking and doing drills. I sat with the twins on the sidelines feeding them snacks and trying to keep them as warm as possible. It wasn't all that cold in the sun though the wind made it really chilly. They ate their snack for some time and watched Andersen practice. After awhile I walked the twins over to the park and we ran around.

Andersen had a blast and was very enthusiastic about soccer. I think it was due to Daddy playing soccer with him. When we left Ron promised to take Andersen out and pick out a soccer ball so we did and upon returning home Andersen was still very stoked about soccer he wanted to skip lunch and practice more with Daddy. We decided against it since it was our spring cleaning day and later took the boys to a park with a field to let them run and kick their new soccer balls. Overall a great day and start to the soccer season!
