Soccer

They boys are still loving their soccer clinic.  Mike and I are loving that they are loving it.  :)

Miles usually starts by hanging out with me and Griffin in the 3-year-old group.  If Griffin ever tires out of the little exercises, Miles either cheers him along or he just does the activities with me himself.  It works out perfectly.

Around 1/2-way though, Miles usually tires of the 3-year old group and he wanders over to hang with Mike and Noah.  Last week the 5 year olds had their first little scrimmage.  Just before they started, Mike leaned into Noah and said, "if everyone crowds around the ball, just jump in, kick it out of the group, then run after it."  I have to admit, I was SHOCKED to look over and see Noah doing just that over-and-over again!  Our less-than-aggressive guy was in the mix!  And, even cuter was that Miles was cheering screaming (!) for Noah the entire time.  Mike couldn't have been prouder of either or them.

And, I know I'm all excited -- but I do have to remind myself that this is just a clinic.  Not a full-force league or anything.  But who cares, I'm still loving it.  PS Is anything cuter than a bunch of 3 year olds in a huddle/cheer at the end of practice?!

Oh cute huddle! I LOVE the shot of Noah breaking free. Totally see why you were proud/excited and Miles screaming for him...stop it. (Just had a flashback of Kate chanting "Go Beanie Go")
