First Soccer Game

September 11 - Mike has been waiting for this day for almost four years... Nicholas' first soccer game. Nicholas is still only three, but Mike 'stretched the truth a little bit' and told the league organizers that he was four so that he could play this year.

The Green T-Rex's... Brooke, Danielle, Caden, Nicholas, Christian, Dillon, and Jerrick with Coach Mike, Coach Craig, and Bob

New situations make Nicholas very nervous. It generally takes him a long time to 'warm up' and feel comfortable. This was no exception... notice where Nicholas is (#3) compared to the rest of the T-Rexes and Red Dragons. During the entire game, Nicholas was sure to keep his distance. He stuck to Coach Craig's side. He did, however, kick the ball twice during the game (which he was so proud about)!



Much to Mike's dismay, I think Nicholas' favorite part of the game was the snack at half-time. Go T-Rex!!
