Reaching Soccer Status

The day arrived, all too slowly in the time frame of an almost five year old.

We've been waiting for what seems like years to be old enough to play soccer.

Today, it happened.

Soccer Status has been reached.


With one practice under his belt, he headed to the field with all the confidence of a kid much older than him. He allowed me to snap a picture before telling me he needed to "warm up" before the big game.



As proud parents will say "he did awesome." No, really he did.

Soccer just may be his sport. He cracked his knuckles to warm up, he stared down the opposition and he ran his little legs off. He only touched the ball once, but it was just to move it so the others couldn't kick it. We all would have done the same thing.

He even scored a goal! Check out that face. We were all beaming! This kid has talent. It may be the shoes {Jared informed me that he had to have soccer shoes, gym shoes just wouldn't do} and I think I now agree with him. Gibson did run super fast in his new shoes. 

Family Picture. This is as good as it gets. We're happy, healthy and love the soccer status that we've now obtained.
