Ethan's first soccer game

He has been talking about this for almost a year now, and the day finally came! It has been interesting to me how early my boys have been interested in sports. I doubt I was asking to play soccer when I was only 3 (I'm sure I had my head in a book, even then!), but Ethan has been begging since his 3rd birthday.

It was so cold on Saturday morning, and windy too. I love E's expression in this one; he was definitely not impressed with having to wear shorts in 40 degree weather.




I felt sorry for my frozen soccer player and let him wear my sweatshirt. It looked like a dress on him!

In the 4th quarter he got to play goalie, and he was very excited about this! He stopped 3 goals, I think, and then got to kick the ball back in each time. Forgive the horrible photos - I have to figure out how to take moving pics.



And so it begins, the life of a boy. :)

What a cute little soccer player!

I wouldn't want to play in 40 degree weather either...what a trooper!

He is so cute, even if he looks really cold! One of these Saturdays I'll have to join you in the "stands"!! :-)

Wish we were there (except for the cold :) ) Hopefully it will warm up for the next game. Let me know what his schedule of games are - we need to come up for one, if possible. Mom

If his season is long enough, I might be able to make a game. I hear dad knows a little about takeing moving pics.

His season isn't very long - the games are Saturday mornings and I think the last one is the first weekend in May. When do you move to Tulsa, Michael?

Nope, I wont make it this season. I'm not moving until May 10th. E looks pretty serious in his pictures.

:) That's so exciting for Ethan! I bet he really can't stop talking about soccer now! Is it as fun as he imagined?
