Soccer Star!

Wyatt had his first soccer game on Saturday. This is his first season of playing, and so it was his FIRST game ever! He has a cute little team, and has a few of his primary friends on his team as well. It should be a great season.
I had HIGH hopes for my little man. He has a good kick, and likes to run around in the backyard. This picture is from their warm up.
Then the game started....TORTURE!!! This was one crazy mom on the sidelines, trying to "encourage" her son to participate in the game. He was walking around, picking flowers... he was tired, or hungry or didn't understand what he was supposed to do.
Half time pep talk from his super athletic father. Watching was painful for me, must have been worse for Brett who can actually play sports well. :)
Best part was the popsicle snack at half time. During the second part of the game Brett convinced me to go out onto the field and help Wyatt get into position/ talk him through the things he should do etc. Didn't help. We have big plans for A LOT of practice this week before our next game on Saturday.

so cute! And don't worry Ryker started soccer too on Saturday and would pick the ball up and put it down in front of the net and kick it in. I was the crazy mom on the sidelines yelling "no hands! no hands!" I don't think there was one kid on the team who was really doing what they were supposed to...haha!! But it was so much fun to watch :)

Wyatt is so cute! Isn't sitting down and picking at the flowers and the grass the best part about playing sports at this age?!?!

haha, that is so cute! I've heard that those first time soccer teams are like that, lots of wondering around and picking flowers!
