First Soccer Practice

Simon had his first 'official' soccer practice tonight and he loved it!  He's been playing soccer at school, too, but this was our first time to see him in action.  A few parents who have older kids playing soccer wanted to do something with the younger kids who want to be part of a team.  So one mom decided to start a once a week program.  There were about 10 kids and it looked a little chaotic at times but Simon had a blast.  His favorite parts were running and playing 'red light, green light' without the soccer ball.  : )  And after the official practice was over, Mark took him back to the field and let him kick some goals -- both were grinning from ear to ear.  So we're officially a soccer family and will encourage Simon to play as long as he is interested.  We're already guessing that he'll be a track star if soccer isn't his calling.
