soccer continues

We had a great morning this morning and the kids were both excited to go to soccer (not the case every time!!). We got them dressed and to the field in plenty of time to warm up and play. Heather was right in there from the beginning and continues her effort to stay near but not in the action. She is quite tentative in her kicking but seems to be having fun as she pretty much volunteered to play almost the entire game. Charlie was in halfway through the first quarter and played quite a while too. He is cute with his determined little attitude although he also stays a bit outside the action. He runs as fast as he can but once he gets close he gets a little tentative. The highlight of the game today was at the end of the "half" the ball popped out and charlie started kicking it down the field. Of course he didn't hear the whistle and although everyone else stopped playing he ran half of the field with the ball and scored a goal. It was quite cute since he is the littlest one on the field!
