Tuesday was a big day in our house. My two oldest boys started soccer. It's been a long time coming and we are so lucky we were able to get them into where we did because they absolutely loved it!
We decided we'd make the first night of games a family occasion! Jayden's game was for 530-630pm and Jordan's 730p-830p so we decided we'd watch Jayden's then go grab pizza at the pizza place and go hang out at the picnic tables having our dinner then go watch Jordan. It didn't really end up going the way we planned. After dinner and a good nursing session P ended up taking 3 kids home - the 2 littlest and Ava, while I stayed with Jordan, Jayden and Kyla because it was just too much for the others they were tired.
The boys uniforms weren't ready yet. They should be in this coming Tuesday so they had to wear their team color shirts - Jayden Orange (Uruguay) and Jordan Red (Portugal). I can't wait to see them in full uniforms!
Jayden has never played soccer before, ever. But we were pleasantly surprised that he was actually really, really good! I think only twice did he go towards the wrong net with the ball, as did many other kids so it wasn't just him. It was really awesome to watch him, and be that really loud mom I've been DYING to be cheering my kids on doing what they love! Jayden's game ended after an hour of play and his team won! 7-0! He almost scored twice! Can't wait for the next game! Very, very proud mama right here!
Jordan is a veteran when it comes to soccer. That boy has skills. He has been playing soccer for the last few years and gets VERY competitive, dramatic and emotional when it comes to the game. His team was losing 4-0 for the first half an hour, then during the last they tied it up and the game ended at 4-4. Jordan got 3 assists! Again, very proud mama right here!
Do any of your kids play sports? Please tell me this awesome, proud feeling doesn't go away! I have a feeling I will be THAT mom hooting, and hollering every single time and I think my boys will love it!

ReplyDeleteMy oldest daughter plays soccer and now both of my boys want to. My daughter does gymnastics. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I was a Hockey Mom, Dance Mom, Baseball Mom, Gymnast Mom and Wrestling Mom. The boys were in traveling until Highschool same with my daughter. The one sport they never played was soccer. Even as hockey players I figured they would of played soccer.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on starting sports with your son! I don't have kids yet but I think sports are a great way to teach kids discipline and teamwork.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Soccer. I was so thrilled when my 16 year old said he wanted to play. Unfortunately he decided to not play when we went to do camp sign ups. Right now we just have a gymnast, my 8 year old son. I'm still holding out hope one of the others will show interest in soccer. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of soccermomdom! lolol I was a soccer mom with my oldest child a few years ago. I was a really great experience!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of signing my son up for soccer. We tried a few classes and he loved it. Your kids will also. Plus it will tire them out.
