Soccer Season Begins

I was so nervous for Wyatt's first day of school. If you know him you know he is very sweet, shy, and takes a bit of time to warm up to others. He also is terrified of loud, crowded, crazy situations. Like you know, Kindergarten in a public school.

So on day one, when we had no clinging, no tears, seemingly no fear. I was amazed.
When I met both him and Rylie and at the bus stop I was greeted by two excited bouncy children. His teacher, (someone who has also seen Wyatt in busy places and was prepared for that), said he talked and answered questions with out hesitation. She was so proud of him.

Day two was much the same except we had a soccer game after school. He was a tad more tired and not really excited about the soccer part. He had told us after his practices last week he didn't like soccer. Which didn't surprise me, after all soccer is a bunch of kids running and kicking each other in a big group right.

Then this happened....

he played....

and I could be wrong...

but I think...

he liked it.

Rylie girl, well

She of course loves the second grade.

She continues to love soccer.

And now chooses to play in a skirt...

I am praying 2014/15 school year continues on this miraculous path for my sweet peas.

Soccer fun

Gracie was one of our opponents!

plus Rylie's other buddy Peyton!

Wyatt's buddy Weston is also on Rylie's team!

Soccer~

oh dear...
Has it really been almost a month since my last post. I am so sorry we have been so busy and I will write more soon. With of course lots of pictures too!!!

Rylie attended The British Soccer camp this week. She really enjoyed it!
Here is a quick snippet of her time!

Important Soccer reminders...

1. During team pictures always check out your buddy to see how she is smiling first.

then smile normal, because she is silly...

we had so many friends on the opposing team we had to try and get them too!

 2. Rylie as Center Fullback isn't her favorite position, she prefers all running positions.

3. Always dress in your favorite patterns and colors.

 4. Always, Always, bring snack for the 3 and unders...

 5. Have fun on the sidelines...

 6. Watch out for Cedar. He is an excellent Goalie!

7. Having friends on both teams makes it even more fun!

especially for moms and dads!!
