Soccer Star!

A few weeks ago Richie finally started soccer practice. He has been very anxious to play since we signed him up a couple months ago, especially after we got his uniform and all his gear just before his first practice. He wanted to wear his uniform to practice, but I told him we save that for the games. When we drove up to the field, half the other kids on his team were wearing their uniforms and he gave me the worst look and said, "See!" I told him he could wear his uniform to his next practice. Richie really enjoys practice, but sometimes gets super frustrated when other kids get the ball away from him because he thinks he is supposed to get it into the goal every time the ball is in play. He gets really intense, but hopefully the more he plays, the less that will happen because he will start to understand how it works.

He was supposed to have two games last week, but they were cancelled because the fields weren't ready because we have had so much snow lately. He is supposed to have his first game this week, but it has been raining all weekend and is raining again today, so we will see if that actually happens.
