Soccer it is!

If you know Mateo, then you know it hasn't been easy to find an activity for him to do. Preschool in itself was a Big adjustment that took a while to settle into.
We talk about activities, he seems excited, we sign up, we go and eventually end up coming home not to return again. (Martial Arts- no go, Swimming class- no go). But I think now we may have a winner. We've been talking about soccer for a while and he seemed excited. But you never know with this one. He can talk talk talk and once he gets there totally shut down. No biggie, its just his personality but he was excited about soccer. So Thursday came, he asked about it all day. We showed up and I think he was pretty excited seeing all the other kids there. Coach Harley is awesome. So good with the kids. He even started off by saying it may take 3 weeks for your little one to feel comfortable enough to get on the field but not to give up. Well Mateo wanted us by his side and daddy went on the field with him but in no time.... Mateo was off and running, no longer looking back for daddy and having so much fun!! It was so much fun to watch!! Finally, something he loved and made him grin from ear to ear. Not to mention the Dora (yes I said Dora) popsicle he got from the ice cream truck as we left! He can't wait to go back next week and neither can I!!


As you can see, it started off with the comfort of his thumb


Learning to touch the ball with your foot

Being silly and touching it with your belly button

and with your nose! They all had so much fun!!
