Soccer Sensations

Soccer has finally started in the valley and both Tyler and Ethan are signed up to play.

Ethan loves soccer. Ethan is such a good sport and really loves playing. The number on his jersey is his mom's favorite number: 3. He is also, always, in the middle of any group. Ethan has no fear about infiltrating a group to get the ball. He also loves to be on the ground. After his first game, I realized that I would have no problem telling his soccer socks apart from Ty's because Ethan's would definitely have stains. Although at his age group there is technically no "score keeping" Ethan made 3 goals. The smile on his face after each one is adorable. To the team is doesn't matter who scores, because they are just excited that someone did so that means they can go and give their coach a high five. It's darling.

Tyler loves the games. Tyler loves participating in the games, but the practices, not so much. Maybe because he is trying to exert his independance, which he gets from his dad, who incidentally is the coach. Tyler wears lucky number 7. He too is a good player and chases the ball. Tyler has learned the strategy of the game and his favorite thing to do is kick the ball out of bonds to stop the other team from scoring.
