Alex and his first soccer season

Alex had his first experience with organized athletics this fall. He played on a soccer team for 4 year olds. It was so fun to watch and of course, I think my "little" boy was darling! He struggled a bit in the beginning. As much as I love that my son is a very kind, sensitive, and loving boy - it's not exactly the correct mentality for organized competition. He was sad a lot in the beginning about "how the other boys could run faster than him" or that "he can't kick the ball as much as the other boys." But by his last game on Saturday, Drew said that he was running with the best of them and having a blast kicking the ball. Nonetheless, he was sad that it was his last game and is ready for next season already. He's also ready to play football, baseball and basketball he has informed us. Dad is trying to talk about hockey, but mom is not a huge fan of that! Good thing at this point, Alex doesn't like to skate - he says that it is too slippery!
