First Soccer Practice

Tonight Jonathan had his first soccer practice and he did GREAT! He was so excited about it, he barely took a nap and we got there about 20 minutes early because he wanted to get there. As soon as we got there, he put on his cleats and watched the 4 coaches playing soccer. Then one came over and asked him if he wanted to play and off he went. It was just him and the four coaches for a few minutes and he was talking their ears off. Other kids started showing up, including his friends, Alivia, Rocco, Alex and Danny. I was impressed with how well Jonathan listened to the coaches for instructions and how FAST he is. The boy can run! We had a couple meltdowns because he couldn't stop the ball at first like they were showing him and when other kids got the ball from him but the coaches handled all of the situations perfectly. Jonathan definitely learned a lot tonight but now needs some practice. I can't wait to see how much he improves by the end of the session. He is playing "up" with 4 and 5 year olds so he can play with his friends but I have to say i think it will work out. Highlight of the night, Jonathan scored a goal!!! He worked hard for it and was very proud. I will post the video of it soon. Daddy and GB came to watch also. I think we are all excited for next Thursday already.

We got there early so Jonathan was out playing with one of the coaches all by himself.

Listening to drill instructions.

Picture with his coaches and friends after practice. I love the rosy cheeks.
