Back to soccer practice

We switched the girls from their "premiere" league soccer team to Takoma Park soccer for the Fall season.  It's what Will has participated in for a couple of years and we felt it offered the kids as good of training as the crazy expensive other league.  So now we have busy Sunday afternoons with overlapping soccer practices on the same field, and a WHOLE lot of Takoma Park soccer shirts in the house...


No pictures of Maggie and Stella because Patti had her hands full.  No, literally full - of Stella and Maggie's hands...  Maybe next week.

Will had a blast!  He ran into his best friend Quinley on the way to practice, and then he found out that three of his other nursery school classmates are on his team.  For a kid that always worries about not knowing people, it instantly put him at ease.

Here is Will's first ever corner kick!


And later, he even scored a goal!  Scrimmages for Kindergarteners are still kind of a scrum but he got to the far post and tapped in the ball when it squibbed in front of him and the goal.  Then he sprinted all the way down field to high-five Daddy and Mommy.



He was so excited!  The whole (short) drive home he kept saying that it was the best soccer practice ever,
