Beginning of September

At the beginning of September we began real soccer. August was soccer camp. We weren't so sure S.Jessen would like it as he didn't understand that it was ok now to kick the ball away from someone. All this time we've been teaching him not to kick the ball away from people and now it's ok? Defense is a very hard concept to learn. He ended up really liking it and got a goal at each of his first two games. He was done scoring after those games though. We were excited that he scored at all! Tate will definitely be ready when it's his turn to play in a few years. He really wanted to get in there and play.

I was able to take a morning off and go to S.Jessen's first preschool field trip to the Apple Orchard here in town. It was raining, but still a lot of fun. Riding on the bus with a bunch of preschoolers who've never been out of car seats before was a little interesting :)

This is his entire preschool class. There are 18 of them! S.Jessen is the one waving.
