The Black Grizzlies

3 year old soccer - hilarious!  Brooks had is first day of soccer today with his little team called the black grizzlies.  they ran around for 45 minutes on a tiny field and took 3 water breaks.  the "coach" tried to get them doing some organized drills but really the kids just ran and kicked their ball from one goal to the other.  Brooks loved it!

Brooks practicing with Daddy in the backyard.  He likes wearing his cleats and shin guards, amazingly! 

Brooks was happy, persistent, a pretty good listener, and focused.  While he didn't want to participate in the group stretching or cheers, he loved telling me that they were going to play "4 on 4" when a little "game" started.  It was hard to drag him off the field at the end.

We said this morning that this is probably the first of countless Saturday mornings in our lifetime we will spend on the sidelines of a soccer field - we can't wait!
