Jayci's First Day of full time Kinder

Nolan wanted to be a big boy with a backpack.

All four kids are on four different teams. It seemed like a lot to take on and took quite a bit of schedule juggling but really worked out great. We have all really enjoyed the soccer season and the kids have learned so much. I have found that I am one of those parents cheering loudly from the side lines. I get so excited for them.

Ethan has an undefeated team. He has really learned a lot this year and his couch was suprised to hear that he has not played before (not including the year he played when he was four). He really enjoys it and is getting more aggresive with each game.

Jayci is a fast runner which really helps her. She runs circles around a lot of the girls her age and scores an avergae of five goals per game. She loves soccer and it has been great for her. I love watching this age it is so adorable.

Lily has done so well this year. She made the first goal of the season and has really learned to be aggresive and go after the ball. She makes a great goalie too and is not afraid to grab that ball. Lily plays with her good friend Maya and it is fun to cheer for them. She gets really into it when she hears us cheering.

Emma's team is very good and it is full of girls from her school. Thagt has been so nice for her to make such close friends through soccer. Emma has sure worked hard this year to learn the game. At her age it is pretty competitive. She has learned to go after the ball and stick with it. She made her first goal the other night and we were jumping out of our chairs.

Nolan takes everything in stride and always finds something to entertain himself with at all these games and practices.
I am looking forward to when he can play too. It looks like all the kids are wanting to stick with soccer and do this again.
