Soccer Days

Miles started playing soccer this spring and it will carry on through the end of June. He's never played or even watched the sport before, so our expectations were low as were most of the parents on the 3 year old teams. He's gotten much better as the games have gone on and although he's not the best on the team, he's not the worst. He does manage to score a goal or two every match and he is starting to get disappointed if he doesn't get the ball for a while. His team has two very good boys that have played before and Miles' team, the "grey" team, is considerably better than every team we've played so far just because of these two boys alone. Here are some pics from one of his games:


This is pretty much what Miles does when he's not chasing the ball/paying attention, that and ripping grass out of the ground and throwing it in the air.

Miles is number "8"



Going for an actual goal





Miles scores!!!!!


Don't quite know where the muscle arms came from. I think Chris did it once and now everytime Miles scores he assumes this position. Definitely cracks up everyone watching.
