A Soccer Success {Somewhat}

Our first day of soccer was somewhat of a success. While it started off a bit rocky, it ended on quite a high note!

Both of the boys can be {somewhat} shy in new environments/situations so it didn't come as a surprise on Saturday when we arrived at the soccer fields to have Mason clam up and not want to participate. Tim and I tried everything we could think of to get him to engage with the other children and the coach and this is what we got....



No matter what we tried, he WOULD NOT partcipate! We finally gave up and told him that he'd see how much fun Jack was going to have playing!






Jack, on the other had had a MUCH better time! My little wallflower blossomed as soon as it was time to head over to his team & coach. I was so proud of him. He jumped in with both feet and had a blast. He looked like a natural out on the field!













So 50% a success, 50% a flop - but Mason has assured us that he's going to play this weekend! We shall see!And Jack.....well he just can't wait to get back out and "help his team" he says!
