Fearless and his soccer debut:)

Recently Fearless had his very first "real" soccer game. At their school, 4 - 6 grade can play on the soccer team and actually compete against area private schools. At first, Fearless was adament that he did not want to be in soccer. It's not a huge secret that he would rather spend his time at home, jumping on the trampoline or hanging out with Charlie and Skater Boy. But, Mommy and Daddy thought it would be good for him to try something new. "You never know if you'll like something unless you try it." Finally, after the first two practices had past, he consented to try "just to make mom happy!" What a great kid.....and as it so happens, he loved it. He loved it that is until they had practice for about three weeks and he was sick and tired of practicing. He kept saying he was going to quite, and once again I begged him to just try at least one game. "FINE...." So, the first game rolls around and he did so great! Although the team did not win, he didn't care so much. He got in the van and announced that he loved playing the game. I then asked if he still planned on quiting and he said..."nope, I'm going to stay in and play all the games!" We're so proud of him, it can be so difficult for him to go outside of his comfort level. It was so much fun watching them play and seeing them really give it all they had!

We love you Fearless...and I'm totally OK with becoming a "soccer mom!"
