Luke-Ready for Soccer

Luke had his first soccer game yesterday. He's a very good little soccer player. I have to say that it's quite funny watching a bunch of three and four-year-olds "play" soccer. They actually did a pretty good job, that is, the kids who weren't off climbing trees, throwing fits, or just un-interested. Luke was the opposite, very interested. In fact, we think he's ready for tackle football because if the other team had the ball and Luke wanted it, he pretty much took them down. It was quite funny. Other kids had ways of getting the ball. Some fell on it (which Luke fell some too, but usually he tripped over his own feet), and others just picked it up to run with it. Awesome afternoon. What was really nice about it was the fact that all parents knew all the kids, so we just enjoyed cheering on any kid who was able to kick the ball at the goal...any goal. That's another thing. They started trying to actually play towards the right goal, but as kids got turned around and kicked towards the wrong goal, we all cheered anyways. I love watching pee-wee soccer! Great job Luke...it looks like football will be a huge hit with you eventually!
