Jaden plays soccer

This is Jaden's first year to play a sport. He's 4!!

Here he is, putting on his shin guards. Both boys have FITS about their socks and their shoes! You'll see---Jaden ended up putting his shin guards over his socks.

It's just not worth the hassle to fight over silly shin guards.

Yes, I know you can't use your hands in soccer.

He was getting the ball out of the goal!

Steve had to be his coach, since Jaden has watched him be Tyler's coach several times!

Jaden and MaryKate waiting their turn to play again!

Aren't his shin guards so funny on the outside of his socks!!

At age 4---they play 3 on 3.

It's not real high paced! But, cute none the less!

And--the highlight of the morning was Jaden scoring a goal. The first goal for his team.

Needless to say...he was quite excited!

You forget that most 4 year olds have not played sports before.

Tyler had to show the little ones how to hold their hands out to "shake" after the game. Jaden asked me just today when we were looking at these pictures, "why they had to touch hands?"

Our Saturday mornings will be full of soccer with 2 boys playing.

Next year Paige will be doing something...probably dance, not soccer!
And, then that will be crazy--keeping up with 3 kids' schedules!

But, for now, Paige will just sit on the sidelines and cheer....

or play with her Barbies!
