Eddie started soccer last month and he is really enjoying it. His coach does a great job of teaching the kids the game and how to be competitive but still have fun! Eddie has learned a lot and has lots of buddies on the team.
Funny story: Eddie came home from soccer practice and had dinner and then I put him in bed. As he was praying he said, "Lord, thank you for mommy. She is so beautiful and aggressive." I was laying next to him and I made a very puzzled face as I tried to figure out where that word came from. Toward the end of his prayer I figured it out. His coach must have been teaching the boys how to be "aggressive" and go after the ball, and Eddie, knowing that going after the ball is a good thing, must have thought that being "aggressive" was a good character trait to have, so why not apply it to mommy?! As soon as he said, "Amen," I laughed out loud and asked him if he had heard that word from his Coach today and he said "yes." I explained to him that it can be a good trait to have in sports, but it's not so good as a describing word for mommy. :)
Eddie also started baseball on Saturday! Soccer only has a couple of weeks left, so then he will just have baseball. Eddie is on a "coach pitch" team now, so he is done with "T-ball." Ed already throws the ball to Eddie in the backyard and 9 times out of 10, Eddie hits it over the fence! Home-run! Ed is one of the coaches for the team, so they will have a great time together.
Here are some pictures from his soccer game on Saturday. His team is really good and they have only lost one game. There are 8 boys on the team and 4 boys are in the game at a time, so they rotate groups every 5 minutes or so.

Hussle, Eddie!
The boys celebrate after scoring a goal! So cute.
All the parents make this tunnel for the two teams to walk through and high five each other at the end of the game

I love all of the pictures! That's so fun that he's playing soccer now! It seems like he enjoys it, and he looks like a natural out there! I can't wait until Madeline has games for us to go to too :)
