Soccer Time

Soccer season is winding down and this year we've got TWO (although one was somewhat reluctant) soccer players in our family!

Will liked playing goalie the best this year. He'd bring along his vest for the goalie to be distinguished from the other players, and hopefully ensuring he got a turn to play that position.




Many of Will's practices and games were cancelled and postponed this season, so even though the season is supposed to be over, we are still playing make-up games. Sam was a somewhat reluctant soccer participant this first year. He knew we had "signed him up" for soccer, so after the first game, he wanted us to "sign him out -" meaning he was done with all that. At least he had size to his advantage: For some reason there seemed to be alot of this...
And this...going on.

This video says it all about Sam's personality - he just goes with the flow, but if he sees someone who he thinks might be in need, his compassion takes over. It doesn't matter if he's in the middle of a soccer game or not.
Lots of windmilling arms for some reason. Not too much aggressiveness either.

He really just seems to not have a care (or a hurry) in the world. That's my happy-go-lucky boy!

(...With the too small shirt and the too big shorts!)

What a great strategy; bringing your own goalie vest... love it!

Sam is much like his dad! Smiles & easy-going.

I would be tempted to say "sign him out!" but I remember how much Will improved the next season, so in the meantime, looks like fun!!!

My kids decided it's just too much running and not enough action...
