Soccer!

For the first time ever, we signed Alex up for soccer. He's playing in a big local league (sponsored by Tim Hortons) and he's having an amazing time. Two of his friends from school are also on the same team, so he really loves playing and learning to kick the ball and be part of a fun group.

He's #6 and plays for team "USA".

He's played a few games so far and he loves it but he doesn't really feel comfortable yet getting into things and trying to take the ball from the other team. If someone kicks it to him, he'll run with it, but otherwise he tends to follow along with the group. I don't really care if he's amazing at this or not - he's having fun and learning to work with other kids and play fair and that's all that really matters, especially at this age.

Here's a few pics from his first game.
