Today was Troy's first soccer game. He is on a team with all preschool kids so some of the players are 4 like Troy but some are 5 and 6 so they are faster and bigger, which helps the team stay on track. The younger ones tend to follow them and kick the ball when it's near them, but the older ones keep the game going since they understand that moving the ball to the goal is the objective. Troy did have one outstanding play of the game. He turned the ball around and started it back towards the opposing team's goal for 4 or 5 kicks and then one of the older kids came and got it when Troy was surrounded and made the goal! It was so much fun to watch and I was so proud of him!
Teague cheering Troy on!! Right before the game started Teague was playing by a tree and of all things, a ball from another field hit him right in the head. He started screaming and crying and the other team came over to check on him. I really think he was more startled than hurt, but what a way to start the morning!
