Another Soccer Saturday!

Riley is having another fantastic soccer season. Most of the players around him are in their first year of soccer, so he can pretty much run circles around them if he chooses. On Saturday he only scored 3 goals. We are proud of how the other players are getting the hang of it and really learning to score goals on their own. A high five from coach!

This is what Riley d0es after each goal. He turns and points to us. "Yes, Mom & Dad there is another goal!"
This season we are working on mastering the other aspects of soccer besides just scoring for himself. Two weeks ago, he scored 8 goals and had one beautiful assist. This week he played some fantastic defense. Defense is a pretty foreign concept to most 3 & 4 year olds. But Riley has really learned to use his speed, get in front of the other players, and either stop the ball or kick it back toward his goal. I am so proud of him! While big brother is off leading the team to victory, Alex is content with playing with the chairs and just being a busy body. It won't be long and she will be on the field too!

So cute!! The little picture of him after scoring seriously looks like Price Harry on the fields in England. He might just grow up and be a pro!
