Last Day of Soccer

Here pictured is Nate with his trophy from last day of soccer, Oct. 27, 2007. It was a great season with lots of goals. It was funny to hear Nate tell us after each game how many goals he had scored in that particular game and how many his total for the season was. I believe he scored 15 total.

I bought him a pair of cleets at Goodwill but wasn't sure if he would wear them or not(that is why I got them from Goodwill:)). I even found them months before soccer season started so he could get use to the idea of wearing them.....well we didn't make a big deal out of his decision not to wear them but finally on the last game he decided to give them a try. We told him they would make him run faster and I think he believed they did because he sure loved sprinting off the field to get a drink or run after the ball when it went out of bounds.....now if he would have just hustled a little more during the game like he did running off the field he might have scored more goals:) Ha! It was so funny sometimes to see all the players just standing around the ball waiting for someone else to kick it! All in all it was a great season and we are just grateful that he even WANTED to play!! It took him a couple games before he would do the "all hands in the middle and yell "go Sharks!" but eventually he did that and learned how to be a real team player. A big thanks to the coaches also!! Thanks Coach Butler and Coach .....ummmmm....we didn't catch his name but just knew him as Todd's dad:)
