Soccer

Soccer started on Saturday. Henry LOVED it. The first thing they did was huddle up around the coach and introduce themselves. Henry’s coach is named Fernando. Then the coach lined the kids up and they ran, single file, around the field 2 times. Henry was grinning from ear to ear. When he passed us on the second lap he yelled “Now I have 6 more friends.” Then the kids did jumping jacks, which when done by 4-5 year olds, is either jumping up and down with your legs together while moving your arms, or jumping up and down with your legs open while moving your arms, or no jumping at all, just arm moving. After the warm up the kids did several kicking and scoring exercises and then it was time for his first game, which was pretty hilarious. Henry scored 2 goals and was so proud of himself. And in the end he even got a snack and juice that comes out of a pouch. What a great morning. I have a feeling that we will have many more Saturday morning soccer games to come. Our little boy looked the like a real soccer player out there.
