I'm officially a Soccer Mom! :)

[junglemom]

We were all very excited to go to Stevie's very first soccer game today!  He's five.  Not your typical rough and tumble boy (my husband and I are a "little" over protective). I was surprised he even wanted to join. Although happy and supportive when he did!

It must be at least 85 here in the great state of New Hampshire today! The soccer field had no shade what so ever-our water supply got hot in a hurry!

 When it turned out that our team had 2 more members than the other team, Stevie volunteered to be one of the first to sit out. I think he was a little intimidated by the kids he didn't know.

Soon it was his time to play! He got right in there! He did however wait till the ball (and the crowd of players) was a safe distance away until he ran like the wind to catch up! Just stood there two or three times when the ball was right in front of him and no one else was around, and covered his face when all the other players were running past him!

It was so hot the kids soon started dropping like flies and walking off the playing field. Soon there were only 5 players on each team!  Stevie was still in! What a trooper!

So....am I the mom of a future soccer star?   No..I don't think so BUT......He had a lot of fun (constantly smiling and laughing throughout the game!), he tried his best and he stuck it out!

I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD!   :)  Go Stevie!!!!
