Aidan had his third Soccer Sunday yesterday. He, Bryce, and I and Aunt Patty braved the 87 degree early springtime heat to get out on the pitch! Aidan got his jersey and they played a scrimmage with some kids from St. Rose down in Murfreesboro.
A friend of ours refers to soccer at this age as "Buffalo Ball" and it really is an apt description. Kids chasing the ball, kicking it in any direction, then chasing again.
Aidan was, like a lot of the other kids, a little timid about getting into the thick of it and really kicking at the ball.. ...and he wasn't always sure where he was supposed to be-- especially when the coach asked him to play back on defense-- he really had no idea when to chase after the ball then!
On the drive over to the field, he said "If I fall down, I'm going to retire."
The memory of the spill he took during his first Cross Country meet is still with him.
He did fall down a time or two, but he didn't retire.. he go back up and kept running.
I'm not sure if he loves soccer yet or not, but he's enjoying giving the ball a good kick every now and then...
