Soccer

Ryan chose to play soccer again this season and he LOVED it!  This past summer he didn't want to participate in any daytime activities, but I encouraged him (strongly) to go to the British Soccer Camp.  Wow!  He must have been paying attention:)  It was so much fun to watch him play.  Once he got his foot on the ball... look out... it was his!  What was even more fun was seeing that he instinctly knew to help his teammates.  Kids at this age can be ball hogs... stealing the ball from anyone... even their teammates.  Ryan was very good at running beside a teammate who had the ball, ready to help if needed.   When he scored a goal he would high five his coach and move on... no gloating.  The only time he came close to bragging was when we called home from the cruise.  Tony asked if he scored a goal at his game the night before and he responded "Daddy I scored all the goals.!"

 Brandon practiced on the sidelines.  His turn will come:)

Sean encouraged Ryan to take a turn in goal.  He stayed close to encourage him.
