Soccer: Jack

This summer was also Jack's first time signing up for parks and rec classes.  He (we) chose to sign him up for t-ball and soccer.  The thing that Jack liked best was that his "best friend" Caroline from preschool was also in both sports with him! 

Soccer consisted of a few weeks of practice on Monday and Wednesday nights, teaching the kids some fundamentals of the game.  After a few weeks of that it was game time!  The kids had 3 Saturday games scheduled and I took some time off of work the first week, eager to watch them play. 

The pictures below pretty much sum up how Jack "plays soccer".  He giggles, laughs, chases and goofs around with Caroline.  Neither of them seemed to have much interest in the actual game of soccer ... just the game of being silly with each other.

listening to the coach, getting positions assigned

it might look like a kiss, but they insist that Caroline was just telling him a secret : )

Chasing and laughing, oblivious to the game despite the coach behind them

Needless to say, I'm not sure if soccer is really going to be Jack's game.  But one thing we know for sure?  If we do sign him up for soccer again, we're going to have to make sure that he and Caroline are on different teams : )
