Liam had his first soccer practice tonight, and boy, was he excited about it. When we got there, he was a tiny bit shy, but then he recognized one of his coaches (she was a teacher at his preschool last year), and the shyness disappeared. From then on he was kicking a ball against a wall, doing the "duck walk," stretching, running, and shooting goals with all of the other (mostly bigger) kids. Whenever he had a slight break, he would turn to me (I was on the sidelines with Max, Jimmy, and Gracie, who were happily sharing Fruit Loops) and either give me a big thumbs up or yell out, "Mom, this is great!" As an added bonus, cousin Emma is on the same team, so we get to see more of Laura and family (along with the added bonus of carpooling whenever necessary). The next practice isn't until next week (normally there are two per week), but I'm sure Liam will be busy practicing his kicks out in the yard all week long!
