It's taken me until the very last soccer game to get pictures of Lincoln actually playing soccer, and most of them turned out blurry. Oh well. I got some cute one's of Ivan and Adelia though. They've been really good sports about sitting on the sidelines and cheering for Lincoln and his team.
First year soccer is always so funny. Most of the kids on the field don't have a care in the world, and are just happy to be out there running around. Most seem clueless as to the point of the game, but they like to chase the ball, and each other. :) Some parents get WAY to into it, but for the most part everyone is just there to enjoy themselves. I like that they don't keep score. And I like that they only play 4 on 4. It seems to make the chaos a little less.
Some people think I shouldn't have signed Lincoln up for soccer so early. (You have to be 4 and he just barely made the deadline by like 2 days.) But soccer has been a good experience for him. Not only does it give him the opportunity two times a week to run all his energy out, but he also gets the experience of learning from another adult besides me, and gets to practice taking turns and working with a team. Plus it's just fun. So, I'm glad we signed Lincoln up this year. We'll definitely do it again next year.
Lincoln's favorite part about soccer games was the treat at the end, and retrieving the ball out of the net after someone (usually the other team) scored. He scored one goal this season and had a lot of great throw-ins. He loves his medal and his soccer shirt.
