Ethan started soccer a few weeks ago and it has been so fun to go to his games. He is on a team with all of his friends and he just goofs around and has so much fun.
At his first game he pretty much ran around tackling/pushing kids over, even when the ball was at the other end of the field. When I asked him about it he said "cause I've gotta get the other team." So we had a talk about how in soccer you just kick the ball with your feet. Well for the last few weeks everyday Ethan has wanted to "practice" in the back yard. So we have been playing a lot of soccer, and it was so great to see the difference.
Today in his game he actually went after the ball and not the other players. He was pretty good in the first half and scored 3 goals. The second half he was too tired so for part of the time he just sat on the ground. But I was so proud of my little soccer stud. It is seriously so funny to watch these kids run around and have fun.

Half-time
This one is of him yelling at the other player for holding the ball. He was telling him that he can't touch it with his hands..... only feet!!

I love these video clips! He is so grown up in his soccer uniform. So fun. :-)
Maybe he'll be good at soccer and football- where he can push people around a bit :)
