Will just wrapped up his first season of soccer. Well, it wasn't really on a team, per se, because I couldn't find a soccer league in our area for kids his age. So, I found a program called Soccer Shots that teaches kids the fundamentals of soccer (so think of it like a soccer practice each week) and they end the weekly "practice" with a scrimmage. It's pretty cute to watch a bunch of 3-5 year olds running around in a big group trying to make goals (they don't understand the concept of team work or passing yet...just scoring.)
Saturday was his last session and Coach Kayla handed out certificates and medals to each kid. Needless to say, Will was super excited about getting his first "gold medal" (and I have to say I was surprised at how proud I felt watching him get that medal, even though everyone got one). He has been proudly wearing that thing around the house non-stop. I'm not sure if Will was enamored of soccer--I think now that he's old enough we'll try an actual soccer team this fall (too hot this summer)--but he sure is in love with that medal.
