I'm a Soccer Mom!

Last Saturday was Arlo's first Soccer game. We've been so excited for this day to come when Arlo can start to channel his energy in sports. At this age their games consist of drills for a half hour and playing for a half hour. There's only 4 kids on a team and they play without a goalie so the kids can have more opportunities to score. All of the little kids on Arlo's team had a hard time and at one point they were all crying on the field.




Both of these pictures are Arlo pouting on the field because "they weren't letting him have a turn!" Their whole lives these kids are taught to take turns and share and now they were told by adults to "take it away". I can see why they got frustrated. Hopefully next week will go a little better.
