Ty's first soccer team, the Knights!

[Sorry, I set this up months ago and haven't even told anyone to look at it. Sorry...clearly I am not keeping up with posts so I promise to do better! Hurricane Ike got in the way of a lot of things in our life...]




So, Ty has started with his first sports team this fall. We are playing soccer at the local YMCA. I am attaching a few pictures for you to enjoy. Ty is probably the youngest kid on his team and is playing with some much bigger and more athletic 5 year olds. This has been frustrating for him and many tears have been shed on the soccer field. Ty enjoys practice much more than games...especially when he has to play goalie! But, we know this is a learning experience for him and we are encouraging him to keep a smile on his face and keep trying.

Since Mark and I don't have an athletic bone in our bodies, it is hard because we know he's not naturally an athlete. But, Ty REALLY wanted to play soccer and be a part of a team so we are giving him that experience with all the good and bad that comes with it. (Yes, that is a picture of him scratching his rear end DURING a game...)

We'll keep you posted...3 games down and 5 to go! Go Knights! FYI, Lily is going to dress up as their mascot for the last game, if it ever cools down enough. :)
