Soccer Saturday!

After many many weeks of anticipation, today was Grant's first EVER soccer game. He was unbelievably excited this morning and I think that it probably carried all the way through the game. :-) After reviewing the tape, looks like we need to have a few discussions re pushing in soccer. In fact, according my conversation with Grant after the game, he was "pushing kids out of the way because he was so excited to score a goal." Good thing there aren't any red cards at this level. He also falls an inordinate amount...but he does that at home too.

 Coach Simmons with Grant and our wannabe soccer player Beckett. Poor kid, just wanted to play too. 

 

Grant and his friend Emmitt. Emmitt and his family live down the street from us.

 Beckett is obsessed with Baby Asher, Emmitt's little brother (about 5 months old). This is also Emmitt's sister Alina...she is also 2. We have playdates with Emmitt and his family at least once a week.

 Such a cute pic.

 The soccer cluster. I don't think that there was a single pass in the game...at least not on purpose.

 How old are you? I am three. How old are you?

 Grant's biggest cheerleader - Go Grant Go! Go Wind Go!

Coach Simmons with a few pointers.

If you would like to see a longer clip of the game (about 7 minutes or so), choose the first video. My favorite part is Grant falling into the goal and getting his arm stuck in the netting. Classic.

If you just want to see Grant score his goal, choose the 2nd video.
