Soccer Shots!

So, Ethan is on his first soccer "team!" Actually this is his first time doing anything like this at all. He was super excited and asked all sorts of questions the way there. "Will my coach be a guy or girl? What is my coach's name? What is he going to tell me to do?

I was the only parent there! Ethan is doing this at his school and all of the kids that signed up also go to school on Wednesdays. Ethan only goes to school on Tuesday and Thursday....so I had to drive him back to school for soccer today. Ethan had a great time and that is the most important! He followed Coach Brandon's three rules to a tee....don't talk while coach is talking, never touch the ball with your hands, and everyone will score a goal!

It was a little difficult for me to sit and watch. :) When the coach was giving instructions I could tell Ethan wasn't always listening. So, when it was time to do what was told....well....you probably know what happened. :) When the coach said to hussle to the gate Ethan took his good old time. It made me laugh. I think after a few weeks he will get the hang of it. I think my boy is just like me and takes a while at new things. Ask anyone in my family what is was like watching me play sports when I was younger. They bring this up at almost every family get together. I didn't realize I was so funny to watch! ;o) ha ha ha

He says he likes his "coach" and thinks he has cool clothes. He also says he wants to practice soccer tomorrow. I think he had enough of it for today. He did a great job - I was proud of him! Here's a few pictures.
