Eli started another soccer season last weekend, and boy was he excited! (We actually missed the first weekend of the season due to our beach getaway with family.) He and Daddy set off for practice early Saturday morning, and Jude and I were not far behind. Love living so close that we can walk to soccer too!
It was fun to watch Eli interact with and get to know his new teammates....and being a year older has really improved his skill set. What a difference a year makes! This year, they are splitting the teams and playing 4-on-4 (or maybe it was 5-on-5?) games. I really like this new format. The kids get more touches, and because it is being played on a half field, it means less running. Great decision!
Eli did so well! He kept up with the ball and ran, ran, ran. Again, what a difference a year makes. He played so hard and sweated buckets. .....And this little boy.....All he wanted to do was be out on that field with Daddy and Eli.
I had him playing football and soccer on the sidelines for most of practice and finally wore him out about halfway through the game. I locked him in his stroller and he was happy to chill, sip some water, and watch the rest of the game.
Looking forward to Saturday's game as well as the rest of the season!
