Spencer has been begging to be in soccer since last spring. If I remember right he cried on and off for three hours one Friday night as we drove around town saying, "I want to play at soccer practice right now!" I finally calmed the situation by telling him when he turned 4 I would put him in soccer. Nick and I laughed as we watched our 3 year old boy cry for soccer practice - still in his 5 harness car seat! "He's way to young," I kept giggling!
Well here we are... not quite 4 yet, but spring soccer practice started today and his next chance would be September... We decided to be SUPER parents and let him start early. I drove past the soccer fields on Thursday and just happened to walk in and inquire about his age group. Luck for us it was the last day to sign up! Spencer went to bed that night saying, "Mom, will you please wake me up and let me know if you get me on the team!" Who could say no to that?! Not me - He and his buddy Jake are both on the Pumas practice team!
Check out how cold it was day 1... Okay the blue is actually a sucker... but it was rainy, windy, and just plain burr!
Check out my speed...
Kicking cones...
Getting his ball back after kicking it into the goal - Go super star!!
Get ready for this awesomeness.... Spencer loves to make a dramatic entrance and pose while he kicks. I'm pretty sure he thinks he's the most hot stuff out there.
Andie (Spencer's friend that also ended up on the same team - Isn't she a cutie!) Spencer waiting his turn.
Kicking cones with the soccer ball... doing awesome in cleats for the first time!
PRO!
Daddy made it to part of Spencer's first soccer practice and then had to head back to work... We're so glad we got to see him for a few minutes!
They played a mini game at the end and this was Spencer's super kick that scored his team a goal! He was pretty proud of that one!!
Running for the ball...

So cute! Kids soccer is so funny to watch.
So cute! Jackson has been begging us to start soccer too, but the age for soccer here is 5. They have a soccer clinic that we are going to do, but he was so disappointed to not be on a team.
I swear he looks older than when I was just there. It must be the uniform!!! So fun.
