Soccer Star

I am officially getting my soccer Mom on! Whoop whoop! Drew's first soccer game was the 10th and he had another one this past Saturday. We are off to a great start! All we hoped for was for him to enjoy the game and want to play and we've been proud so far. When his team, the Razzles, got together at the first game and the coach asked who was ready to play, Drew was one of the only ones to raise his hands and say "Me, me, me!" There are 10 kids on his team, 8 showed for the first game and three cried throughout most of it (I felt bad for those kids and their parents. I've been in that spot before and it is not fun at all). Drew ended up playing quite a bit since they were short a couple of players. It was a hot day but Drew was a trooper and he had a blast. He scored three goals including the first one for his team. That was fun. I have no intention of being an obnoxious parent but it was a blast to cheer for him and his team! I even teared up a bit when he ran past us with a huge grin after scoring. He was so happy. We had family in town that weekend so Drew had quite the cheering section. After scoring, he wanted to be sure that Day Day saw it so would run to him for high fives. Very sweet. The 2nd game went well too. All of the players were there and only one didn't want to play. Way to go Razzles! Since there were more players, Drew didn't play as much. He also didn't score right away. About half way through the game he looked at me and asked, "Why was I good last week and not good this week?" Uh oh! So I started the speech of scoring isn't everything, support your team, yada yada yada. It helped a little bit but he was still a tad bummed until he scored. We'll have to keep working on that. Here's some cute pics of our little soccer player...

Dressed and ready for the firs game. Drew was begging me to hurry so we could get going. He was so excited!

Drew after scoring his first goal! Way to go Drewby!!!

Two of the three girls from across the street came to Drew's 2nd soccer game. It was so sweet of them! Drew was very proud to have them there. Watch out for these girls to be pro players in a few years. They are ridiculously good.

Running toward us after a goal. He makes the cutest faces!

Major weather change. The 2nd game was chilly and rainy. Drew looks like a real athlete all bruised and dirty :)
