We Have a Soccer Player In the House

Joshua expressed an interest in playing soccer on a team at the end of last winter.  I thought it was perfect timing as I could just sign him up for the spring.....little did I know how AYSO is played in our little township.  As I now know you have to sign you kid up in MAY to play both fall and spring (Joshua was put on a waiting list with a couple dozen other kids for last spring in the case there was an opening - never happened).  We made sure to drop off his registration and payment in May, but had to wait until August to find out his team and actually get to practice!  He is in the U8 division, practices once a week and has a game bright and early on Saturday mornings.  He is not a soccer star, but is definitely learning some good skills as both a soccer player and a team member and he really enjoys it....oh and he thinks he rocks at soccer (which is so precious and innocent that we hope it lasts a while longer).  We are proud he is trying his best and learning!  Here's to the start of Joshua's soccer career and the start of me being a soccer mom (minus the minivan).

 Joshua ready for action (#2).

Go Joshua, GO!

We love AYSO...Joel's even been a coach the last two years. And, of course, our little competitive child, Emma, LOVES it, too!
