Jared is just about done with soccer again this spring. He has had a ton of fun and has really learned a lot. He still doesn't like compete with other kids in getting close up to the ball, but he does like to play defense and kick the ball when the other team kicks it his way.
My neighbor took these action shots of Jared and emailed them to me. He is wearing long pants and sleeves because it was really cold for his first few games!!
Jared was supposed to be on a 1st grade boys team, but because they didn't have enough kids sign up (the league was new this year), they had to combine 1st and 2nd graders (There are even two 3rd graders that snuck in his team--not sure how that happened.) Since Jared is by far the youngest child on his team, I felt bad that he didn't get a chance to really show/improve his skills because there were so many older and better-skilled children on the team for him to compete with. Hopefully next year when I sign Jared up for a 2nd grade team, it really will be just 2nd graders!! He has had lots of fun, though, and is excited to do soccer again in the fall.
