After t-ball season ended last summer, Jonas requested to play soccer in the fall. Matt and I found a program in Denver that was affordable and suited both of our boys. Every Saturday starting at 9am for 5 weeks, we became a soccer family. I remembered the first practice, I looked at Matt with a smile and said,"it smells like soccer." He chuckled and knew how excited I was for the boys to play a sport that I grew up with.
Silas' team met on the field for some games, laughs, and bond between the little guys. Their team was called Black Grizzlies.
Silas' favorite part about soccer was the snacks at the end of each practice. And then we would hunker down and watch his big brother play.
Jonas, Jonas, Jonas! Where do I even begin? Dad and I were quite skeptical at what you may think of soccer. Would it be too much contact? Would you not like being pushed down? Would you cling to our side? NO! You were brave, strong, and go-getter! You instantly loved the sport and give it your ALL(I mean all) out on the field. You listened, you applied the skills, and you were determined.
Jonas' coach pulled me aside and said,"Jonas runs so fast and such a fast learner of the sport."
Jonas' team was called White Foxes
I asked Jonas his favorite part about soccer and replied,"I really enjoyed playing with Finley(good friend) and defending my side."
Soccer buddies!
Mommy is so proud!
Check back in a few weeks for the next sport endeavor.
