If it had gone in, it would have been a goal!

Soccer has come and gone for Brandon and it seems like he had just started. This was Brandon's first year playing any organized sport. I think he was a bit confused to start with as he was wrestling with his coach during practice. I'm also sure cartwheels aren't part of soccer but Brandon seemed to be able to get a few in as he was running around on the field. He did have a great time and by the end he was doing great.


I refer to him as the "Gentle Giant" on the field. He was one of the biggest kids on his team and dwarfed quite a few of the kids. I am sure parents saw him and thought he was going to dominate the game and squash their kids. All concerns were put to rest as he went to take his first kick at the ball and tripped and landed directly on the ball. He thought it was hilarious! I am so glad he is so easy going and makes sure he is having a fun time with whatever he is doing.

  1. That's awesome that he that he's so laid back and can laugh at himself! That'll make sport so much more fun for him!

    I love watching kids play soccer. They generally just have fun for the sake of having fun!
