Eli's in soccer!

Eli had his 1st soccer practice last night. I'm so excited he's actually getting into something now! He's never wanted to play baseball like the other boys in the family or anything really. I just happened to mention soccer to him one day and he said sure so I literally signed him up the next day. He got his jersey the day we signed up and he wore it around the house the whole day.

We had practice (late call) yesterday. None of the kids were ready hardly so it only lasted 30 minutes. I think technically they're not supposed to practice without shin guards so that's why it was so short. He did so good though to have never played soccer. I wanted to cry. :) After practice we were standing there listening to the coach say about practice and games and blah blah and he asked if anyone was interested in assisting or referres or anything and Eli started to speak up and I got out "don't even think about it" before he had the chance. I know literally squat about soccer. You can't touch the ball with your hands and you kick it through the goal. That's all I know. Never played and actually never liked the sport. At all! But if Eli's going to play something then I'm going to be there cheering on like I know what he's doing. LOL! I only had my phone so you get crappy pics but parents are supposed to bring cameras to practice so I'll add more later.

Eli's in the orange if you can't tell. That's his game jersey but he wanted to wear it. And of course he one of the smallest on the team...go figure. :)
