Tanner the Soccer Star

We finally started Tanner in soccer. I think he would have loved to have started earlier, but I didn't have the time or energy for the practices and games every week. But now he's playing and he's loving it. 
Here are some pictures from his first practice. It was actually a workshop with some speed and agility coaches. All the boys his age played together. It was so fun to watch. 

I love this kid. Maybe he will have some athletic ability, heaven knows I don't have any. 
We also found Tanner's little buddy Braxton at the workshop. 
Water bottle buds.
Here's Tanner watching the coach completely enamoured. And Braxton has his arm around Tanner- lol. 



Then today we finally had Tanner's first soccer game. It was so fun to watch. I was a screaming/yelling/cheering mess. It was a blast. 
Tanner did so good!
The pre-game huddle
Tanner waiting on the sidelines to sub in. 
The teams only play 3-on-3 so he has to alternate playing. 
Yay, finally getting some game time. 
The coach had Tanner throw in a bunch of times. Whenever the other team kicked it out of bounds, Tanner got to throw in. 
Here's my boy, leading the charge. He had such great hustle and played with his whole heart. 



Here is his smile after scoring his first goal. 
Listening to the coach for directions before throwing in. 
He actually scored two goals and one more of his went in, but the other coach didn't call it. But his team won and it was a great game!
"Good Game" high fives. So cute!

"GOOOOO STARS!""""

Tanner loved playing in his first game and had so much fun. I basically cannot wait until his next game. I had a great time watching and cheering. So fun! Even Daddy said he was surprised by how much fun the game was. We can't wait til next Saturday.
