A great first soccer season

We couldn't be any prouder to be Nico's parents on a daily basis and had such a fun time watching his first soccer season! He genuinely looked forward to his games and would talk about Saturday being "Nico's game day" throughout the week. He showed plenty of competitiveness, as if there was any doubt about that, while still having plenty of fun and being a good sport. Success.

It was really cool to watch him progress through just a handful of games. He started out following the pack and was pretty timid. By the last couple games, he was breaking away and dribbling the ball down the field on his own! He even scored 5 and 6 goals in his last two games.

 

After his last game, we took him to get donuts. He was so proud to wear his soccer jersey and cleats into the place. He looked at me so seriously and said, "Mommy, these people are gonna think I'm a real soccer player."

 

Okay, can he get any cuter?

 

Here is one of his goals that I caught on camera...
