Soccer and Sleepovers

More catching up from fall, which brought Grant’s first season of soccer.  Although he was adamantly opposed to the idea prior to the first practice, he actually grew to like it fairly quickly.  He played almost exclusively on the more aggressive side of the 3 v 3 field and if I remember right, scored in every game.  Almost as much as he liked to score, he liked to push, so we have a few things to work on, but overall we are so pleased to see him in the sport I have grown to love.  Kyle liked helping out before the game when he could and although it took some adjustment his role as a spectator and not the star of the show.  He continued to play with his team from previous season, making this I think his 7th with many of the same boys.  Ryan tagged along as usual and was very proud to attend his first sleepover with the boys and Pipa Smith and Grandma Deb’s house.  He was so excited (as shown in the pic) to pack his bag and climb up into the big SUV.  As we packed, we would ask if he wanted something and he would say “Yes, put it in the bag”.  So vocal, it makes me wonder what the other two were thinking about at his age but just not saying.
