Aidan - Soccer

Last night was Aidan's first game of this soccer season. It was great! Something definitely "clicked" for him because he was actually actively participating! Sure he was dancing around, threw himself on top of the dog piles (even when he had been across the field when the dog pile began), and had to be constantly reminded to pay attention, but he had FUN! He was absolutely filthy with mud after the game and had the biggest smile on his face. I made over him so much, and he proudly told me, "I even knocked someone on the other team down!" I was so proud (and so was Jared!). :-)

Anna and Austin were wonderful spectators. Austin took his own soccer ball, so he rotated between kicking the ball around and playing on my phone. Anna sat pretty patiently in my lap for almost the entire game playing with my keys and eating the dirty soccer ball. It was about 45 degrees, so I had her snuggled up with me under a blanket until the very end when she decided she'd had enough of sitting still.

The next game is next Tuesday at 7:00 PM (!). I'm really hoping Jared can make that one. I'm not so sure it would go so well with the two littlest at a time they're used to getting ready for bed.
