Soccer Season

This is Christian's first season of outdoor soccer, and he's picking it up quickly. Last week, also our last sunny Saturday of the season, he scored his first goal. It was a bit of a letdown in the end, the defender fell down right in front of the goal and stopped his shot with both hands, so Christian got a free kick a foot in front of the goal. But still. He needed to get one finally.

Today, in the pouring rain he made two assists- they were really nice plays. Our team is always playing without any subs, and usually down a player too. So he played the whole game on offense and up until the last 15 minutes the boys were passing rings around the other team. But eventually the little fellas hit the wall- it would be sweet to have a few more kids on the team.
