Keep your eyes on the ball

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Jackson had begun his first season of soccer. So far so good! He is really enjoying it and burning off lots of energy.

We told Jackson before the first game that he would have 10 mins to vent in the car after each game…but then it would be done. He could be frustrated and upset but he had to save it for the car and couldn’t take care of it on the field. To our amazement he has had a super positive experience and hasn’t needed his vent time.  Owen has enjoyed cheering him on and makes himself at home on teammates family blankets. The boy figures everyone is there to meet him. Last week he met a blind Yorkie dog. When the owner said that he would need to talk to the dog to let him know he was there Owen proceeded to softly bark to the dog for the following hour. Holding his leash and watching his every move.

    Love the pictures. It is so fun watching Jackson getting into it and having a great time. Even Seth looks like he’s having some fun, along with the work. You’re right, Owen is open and available to what the world has for him. Very cute.

    Coming from a longtime Soccer Mom, I can tell you that Jackson has good form in that follow-through on his kick! Wish I could see a game – those are the best!
