Soccer Is Over

Well, soccer is over for Dallin. I think over all he liked it. He was always excited to go to practice or a game, but once we got there he didn't always want to participate. (I am sure if my mom or dad are reading this they are laughing at this. Sound familiar?)

Wednesday we had our last game. I use the term game loosely. Basically all the kids come and they are split up into two teams. Coach Brett was awesome at taking the time teach them a lot. Dallin loved his coach. Actually, he loved the whole coach family. (You will understand when you see the pictures in a minute.)

 Here are the boys who played with Dallin. There were more kids, but these were the most consistent at coming and made it to the last game. I think Dallin was the only 3 year old on the team. I know Dallin was the youngest.

  Dallin spent most of his time out on the field with the Coach's daughter. He would want to hold her hand or have her near him when he ran around. Hadley was so sweet to him.

 At one point he refused to go out and play unless Megan, the coach's wife, would go out with him. She was a trooper to run around holding both of Dallin's hands for a while. (She did this the last game too, which is why I think he wanted her to do it again.)

 If left on his own, he often times ended up on the ground sitting or laying. If not that, he would run towards the trees and start to karate chop at them.

 The one thing he did like to do was stand in front of the goal or to kick off. He didn't need anyone's help with that.

 At the end of the game, they cooked hotdogs and had food for the kids. Then they got a trophy. I think Dallin was super excited about his "soccer statue." They also go their own soccer ball. He loves playing with it at home. I am not so sure Dallin will want to sign up in the fall, but I think overall he had fun. He made some friends on the team at least. And I sure did have a good time watching him.
