The big event in September was Hank beginning his first soccer season!!! Here in Columbus, they pack a lot of soccer into a short amount of time. Hank had just one practice, then 5 or 6 weeks worth of games with a game every Tuesday and Thursday.
Soccer for 4 and 5 year olds is a hoot to watch. Everyone on the field is within a 5 yard radius, with the soccer ball smack dab in the middle. Hank's tendency was to run around the circle of people just waiting for the ball to pop out of the pack...which it rarely did. And bless his heart, his shorts were way too big his first game so he was running around pulling his shorts up the whole time. He didn't get alot of contact with the ball, but he didn't seem to mind. He just ran and smiled and sometimes giggled! He did get one goal this season...in his own goal. But he seemed surprisingly unbothered by that fact. He enjoyed playing goalie on occasion, and was surprisingly good...like his Daddy. Jeff was one of the coaches, so that was special for Hank.
Landry and Tucker were great little cheerleaders for Hank. I just had a hard time keeping them off the field...
It was fun, but we were ready for it to be over when the season finally ended. Columbus doesn't have soccer in the spring, so we're getting ready to do t-ball instead. But we're already looking forward to soccer next fall...when Hank and Landry will be teammates!!! Look out Columbus!
