Soccer Time!

Nate is playing soccer this year with his team the BLUE SHARKS (or blue dolphins depending on who you ask...but at our house they are the sharks) anyway, imagine if you will, Nate is on the field with a whole gang of kids fighting for the ball...Nate manages a break away and kicks the ball across the whole field. The sidelines are going CRAZY..."go Nate...he's going to make a goal" He's grinning for ear to ear kicking the ball and running...the goal is clear right in front of him and the other kids are far behind. He gets 2 feet from the goal and....
STOPS and turns the ball around and kicks it the other way...WHAT?!?
Oh well...he loves the game! And maybe we will be able to teach him he is supposed to kick the ball INTO the net!
Nate marches to the beat of his own drummer...love that kid!

Just to keep things exciting..we have the boys on 2 different leagues...I love to complicate my life! :)

Ben is another story...he is super competitive and even the they don't keep score...Ben does! He knows how many points they have...and he is happy to tell you he scored SEVEN goals on Saturday's game (he actually only scored 5....but he insists he scored 7). I keep telling him 5 is a lot of goals and he says "I know...but I scored 7"! He loves to play and is learning to play as a team and trying to remember to not steal the ball from his teammates and give others a chance to score!
