Noah's start to Soccer

Yesterday morning we were all up and getting ready relatively early to get to Noah's first day of soccer. They started at 10am. He's on the green team and acts like he has been playing for years. He was soooo ready! He shook Coach Peter's hand and told him in a loud speaking voice his name was Noah. Once they all got there his coach had then learning drills (toe taps, rocking, kicking into the goal, etc. Below is Noah leading the pack in dribbling down the field to shoot a goal:
More running with the ball down the field...
Then we had a classic moment. They were supposed to be chasing the coach with their balls and Noah was dragging behind. When Coach Peter asked him why he wasn't running he says that he's thirsty...so coach asks if anyone else is thirsty...of course they all say yes and Noah rallied a water break for the team...we couldn't stop laughing. There was no shyness from our little superstar:
With 15 mins left they split the teams up to have mini games. One field had the kids that had played before (in the spring) and the other were the fall newbies. When coach asked Noah if he played before he said yes (because he plays a the house) so he go put with the more experienced ones. He held his own and actually scored a goal.
He was tired by the end, but smiling from ear to ear. He is definitely going to be the sports jock Daddy was hoping for...hahaha.
On the Kylie front...no soccer this session because it's at the same time as CCD class which starts in 2 wks. She finished her first week of dance and is LOVING it. She is especially excited about hip hop. They have a new teacher this year and all the girls really seem to like her. Kylie's classes appear to be a little smaller this year which is always good because that means more individual attention. Her acro class only had 4 girls though...Kylie commented that she wasn't sure how they would do a dance for recital with only 4 girls...HAHA.
Guess that's about it from here...Everyone is all geared up in the Giants jerseys waiting for the game to start. Noah was yelling all morning "Go Giants!!!"
