Go Bobcats!!!

So soccer season is under way. Ryan is coaching Peanut #1's U8 soccer team and we had our opening day games yesterday! Our team is filled with boys who go to the same elementary school and I have to say how fun that is! For the past two years we enjoyed playing on a different team but noticed that most of the players all went to the same elementary school and Ryan decided he wanted to form a team of Big D's schoolmates.

The morning game went well, despite our team losing 4-2! Ryan was impressed with how well the kids played and after 2 years of playing soccer, Big D scored his first goal!!!!!

He was so thrilled and has improved as a player. After all, his first years as a soccer player consisted of him running up and down the field with no interest of coming near the ball. Yesterday that boy was playing forward and he was doing so very good. Aggressive, fast, and accurate with his kicking! The team we played against just so happened to be the team we were on last year and Big D's past coach (Angela) came up to him after the game and told him how impressed she was!

We were lucky enough (note the sarcasm) to have two games on the same day and the second game was a totally different game. The boys were hot and despite the heat we won that game 2-0. I have a feeling this soccer season will be a fun one.
