Soccer

Brixton is playing soccer this year and IT.IS.ADORABLE!! Seriously, if you have never watched 3 and 4 year olds play soccer then you need to find a soccer field soon. It is awesome. There are LOTS of tears, a little swinging on the goal, some Ninja Turtle play and crazy yelling, laughing parents.

These first pictures are practice. Another adorable 4 year old thing... jumping jacks. They have no idea what they are doing.

 

These are from his first game. He scored THREE goals. We were so proud (did I mention there is no goalie). He is on a team with two boys he used to go to daycare with and then three other little ones we are getting to know.

They generally have a good time for the first half, but by the second half Brixton is always done and ends up in tears or in trouble.

This is a picture of him with Braylen and Conner, his two daycare friends. Conner's dad has ended up taking over as coach because he's the only parent who has ever played soccer.

We practice once a week and play on Saturdays. He was off last Saturday though. We'll be back at it this week! I can't wait for the next game. My parents, Nate's parents and Nate's sister and her little boy have come to both of his games. He has a large cheering section.

At the last game the other team had a LOT of criers so we ended up sending Braylen over to their team so they wouldn't have to forfeit. The kids were a little confused by that, but ended up having a good time.
