Off the Bench

After an entire season of sitting on the sidelines and watching Wesley play tee ball, plus having to sit in the grass and observe during Wesley's soccer practice yesterday, Ryan finally got his chance to be on the field. Tonight was his first soccer practice and it was no surprise to me or Duane (or Wesley) that Ryan really seemed to enjoy it. Of course, he also made praying hands in front of his chest and bowed before he kicked the ball each time, so who knows what was going on in his head.

 

Let's get this practice started!

I love this picture

Catch, Mom!

On the way home Ryan informed me that he wants to play soccer every day and wants to wear his shin guards all the time except for in the bathtub. He also claims he "kicked the ball way more times than Wesley, " which Wesley vehemently denied.  Hmmmm...think we have some brotherly competition going on?
