This weekend was busy, busy, busy! The family came in town from Memphis to help celebrate Hayden's 5th birthday and to cheer him on in his first soccer game of the season. David and I were excited and nervous to see how Hayden was going to do this season. Last season we had high hopes that our little boy was going to dribble up and down the field and score goals, but it was far from that. The first game he scored a goal, for the other team, and from then on I do not think he touched the ball the rest of the season. I just chalked it up to the fact that maybe we just started him too early. Flash forward to the first game on Saturday. Hayden had a sideline full of cheerleaders and his daddy as a coach. I had it set in my mind that he would probably just run in circles like last season and not to get too frustrated with him. I took him a few minutes and then it finally clicked for him. He got the ball and dribbled it down the field and scored. When he turned around he had this look on his face like "Oh yeah...I got this...it is on". He did great and scored 4 goals. We were all so proud of him. What a difference a year makes!! He had his second game last night and he is on a roll...another 4 goals. He may not be the best player ever, but I am so happy to see him loving the game and gaining confidence in himself.
