Soccer Stars!

Both boys got to play soccer this season - a first time they allowed 3yr olds to play.  Another family had 2 boys, each one on our boys' teams, which made the 2hr commitment every Saturday morning more enjoyable. While Wyatt played soccer at 9am, Zachary played with Riley, then when it was Zach & Riley's turn to play, Wyatt and Carter played with each other's backpack of toys. It was an enjoyable time for them both, but more so for Zachary.  He and one other boy were clearly the best ones out there.  We, selfishly liked it better when Zach and Jordan did not play at the same time, bc Jordan was clearly gifted and very good.  Wyatt had a less good time.  He played on a pre-K team that was 3-5yr olds not in Kindergarten.  He was just a bit too young. He did not get the ball much, and was not terribly aggressive to get it either.  His shining moment was when one boy was dribbling down the field, fell down, and Wyatt took over and scored a goal.  HUGE moment!

Also fun for Zachary was that this time was the first time his team was assigned a name, and not just a color. Zachary was on the "Fire" team, and Wyatt was on the "Blue" team.

Ms. Beanie even came and watched them play one day, then we went back to the King Home and had lunch with her in the dining room.

Here are our boys with their participation Gold Medals (Wyatt's first)!  So exciting!

Proud, silly boys with their medals
