Micah J- Soccer Star!

Soccer season is upon us!  This is Micah's second year of soccer, and my second year as an official soccer mom!  Mini-van?  Check.  Travel mug?  Check.  Lawn chair?  Check.  Ridiculous amount of photos of my son running up and down a field without actually touching the ball once?  Check.

Making him pose for photos before we left.

Yay soccer day!!!

Running drills.  He's such a perfectionist that he's a slow dribbler because he wants to hit it just right every time.

He bent down and moved the ball to line it up right first and then got reminded of the most important soccer rule:  no hands!

Yes, this would be my son body-checking his own teammate for a chance at the ball.  :-)  It was his one moment of being aggressive the entire game.  The rest of the time he was too polite to get in there and kick it.

He was totally stoked about his turn to be goalie.  Ask me how I felt about people kicking balls at the direction of my baby's head!!!

Liliana was so proud to cheer him on!  She's old enough for soccer this year, but doesn't have the discipline for structured activities yet as we discovered through our attempts at dance, gymnastics and swimming.  (Yes, it took us three different attempts before we finally realized she's a free spirit.)

If I take this picture Mom, will you hand over my waterbottle?!?!
He had a blast, and we're all excited for next week!  Hopefully this sunny weather continues!!!
