Josh's First Season of Soccer























Josh loved Soccer!  He had the most excitement of anyone on the field.  He never wanted a break or to sit out.  He always wanted to be on the field playing.  At the beginning of the season, when his coach would say go take a break and get a drink; he would run over to the bench, take a quick drink and be out on the field in less than a second.  Josh didn't realize he was to sit out for 4 minutes.  Lucky for him most games many of the kids wanted lots of breaks, so Josh got plenty of playing time.

There was one game early in the season where it was so hot that none of the kids really wanted to play; but Josh had so much excitement and energy that he didn't sit out the entire game and never stopped running.  It was so fun to watch him!  He has so much energy and love for life!

The beginning of the season he made a lot of goals for the other team, he was so excited every time.  It is hilarious to watch 4 year olds play soccer.  He figured it out by the end of the season and scored a "real" goal for his team and had several runs down the field that were so close.  He also started turning the ball around to help out his teammates that were headed in the wrong direction.  It was fun to see him improve so much in such a short time and most of all to see him love the sport.

I totally know what you mean. I have LOVED watching Oren play soccer. He started at 4 also. If you ever want him to give Josh some pointers, I bet he'd love it.

Hallie did Soccer this year too and loved it! That is so cute that Josh had so much energy. Hallie did pretty good most of the time but it's funny because when it was super hot it's like the sun took all her energy. I love the Halloween pics of your handsome boys! It looks like they had a great night.
