First Soccer Game

 Levi had his first soccer game today.  The score (We are not keeping score at this age but try to tell the kids that!) was 12 - 1 and our team won.  Actually of that score, Levi got a half the goals, but I was very proud of him because he actually did pass the ball a few times.  He looked a year older than everyone else out there today.  i am not really sure why.  He was a head taller than some of the kids but was not the tallest.  Some of it was that he did actually control the ball, tackle and dribble, without the swarm of bumblebee look that most soccer games have at this age.  Who knows, I was proud of him and it was a lovely feeling.  He was proud of himself as well and that was very cute, esp when he realised that the one goal in opposition to them was when Levi was sitting on the sidelines.

The referee was about 12 and she was beautiful as well.  It was her first time refereeing and every now and then she would blow the whistle and then think about it, laugh and then apologize to all the kids.  She was cheered by the parents as well.
