Soccer Season has begun

Soccer has begun! Thursday night started our season and a BUSY season it will be! We will be at the soccer field four nights a week and all day on Saturday between our three older monkeys. And, I have no doubt that keeping the toddler monkey off the field will be a sport all in itself.

Katelyn's first game was great. It began a bit rocky when the ref told her she would have to take out her earrings or put tape over them. Katelyn was embarrassed and upset and she informed me that she wasn't going to play if she had to do that. With a bit of encouraging I put the tape on and she had a great game.

Offense was her best position of the day. Although she didn't score she did a fantastic job getting the ball down the field.

Connor was a little under the weather this morning but insisted he was up for his first game. He is in an older league then last year, as is Katelyn, so has lots to learn. He did really well considering! Next week we will get there early and try to explain a little more to him to get him prepared.

I was a bit worried that he would get frustrated but after the game he told me it was so much fun and he can't wait till Wednesday! I was excited that he was not deterred!

Oh, Katelyn is on Valencia and Connor is on England!

Maggie starts on Friday and can't wait.

It's gonna be a great season FULL of soccer!
