We signed Lucas up for his first season of soccer. The first few games had quite a few tears, and Brad or I had to walk around with him on the field so he'd stay there. He slowly adjusted, and finally got out there on his own with no tears. We may have bribed him with a trip to Roaring Springs after the soccer game...He had a few good kicks, lot of running, and hopefully some fun in there. In the last game, the ball popped out in front of him right by the goal, and he kicked it in! We're hoping for a smoother season in the fall.
He seems to be following in Emma's footsteps... he's the boy on the far left -- smallest one on the team.
Emma had another fantastic season -- super speed, a few goals, and increased aggressiveness! She got knocked down quite a few times, popped back up, and ran right after the ball again!
Lucas found the little boy dress-ups, and I've had a little super-hero companion ever since.
We took all the kids to Incredibles 2 -- another good movie. Also re-discovered why I don't take Lucas to the movies. We might let him try again in another year.

Team sports are good for the kids. . . trying for the parents, but good for the kids! Looking good!!
