Donovan had the early 9:00 game and was the first one from his team to arrive. I got to spend a few minutes working on a few kicks and passes with Donovan while we had the field to ourselves. Soon the coach and the other kids showed up and they began doing their soccer drills.
Donovan is still trying to get the hang of it but he is starting to recognize the object of the game...to score a goal.
Today, Donovan (#7) score his first goal! This is the scrum just before the triumphant moment!
David (#10) had to sit, waiting with eager anticipation, for his opportunity to play. He was suffering from an intermittent cough but would let that stop him from playing with his friends. In spite of being slightly sick he was still out there playing hard.
David also scored a goal this morning. This is the kick that sent the ball to the back of the goal.
Michael and Aleky were not very happy about having to sit outside in the cold weather. Aleky was especially vocal about his displeasure. He came home and went right back to bed.
