Traeden had his first soccer game last Friday. He was so excited too. This year he is green (a new color for us) and his team name is the Rocky Mountain Green Grapes (?). Jordan was on his way to Michigan (another post for another day) so he wasn't able to be there. But Me and Elie made it and we picked up Grandma Grace on our way. My dad, Grandpa Butch, joined us in the 2nd quarter. So Traeden did have quite the audience anyways. This year it is 5 on 5 with goalies (something new this year) which is where he started. From the very beginning his team was obviously the dominant one. Traeden never had to worry about blocking a goal because the ball never made it down by him. I would glance down in his direction every so often to make sure he was ok, and he would be standing with his hands on his hips or biting his fingernails.
Eventually he made his way into the action. And he was pretty darn good (IMHO). He scored 2 points and had a couple of nasty spills, but as the saying goes 'No Pain, No Gain,' right? Just kidding. His team ended up winning 9-1. Of course it's nice to win, but we were just happy to playing again. We try to teach him that winning isn't everything, but it is kind of fun to see all the kids happy after playing a good game (and winning).
This Saturday is Elie's first game, so stay posted for those pictures. It will probably be pretty interesting.
