Soccer Time!

So, I decided to be one of those awesome parents who lives vicariously through their children by attempting to get my kids to like the stuff I like. I love soccer, but I have discovered over the years that I am a better spectator than player. Also, I have always thought that if I had started playing earlier in my life I maybe would have been better. Cue the over-zealous soccer mom...

As it turns out, (and as you can see from these pictures) Reid does not LOVE soccer like I had hoped, but this is his first introduction to organized sports and I actually signed him up for basketball so he can try that out too. He really doesn't need to love soccer I just want him to be active, you know? I did discover that he is an INCREDIBLE runner. We went to the track the other day, and I usually push both boys in the stroller while I run, but this time Reid wanted to get out and and run too and subsequently ran 2.5 MILES! I was blown away. Maybe he will like running like mommy and daddy...


He did love his coach, and he looks so cute in his little soccer uniform. Maybe I do have a little David Beckham on my hands?
