April Showers brings... Soccer

So Brody begged me to let him play soccer this year, he was so excited when I found a league that he was old enough to play (barely by two weeks) He met his coach a week ago and HATED IT, they were suppose to do a team of 3 and 4 year old and 5 &6, but they didn't have enough sign up so they combined 3, 4 and 5 and his luck is he is on a team with a lot of 5 year olds. I couldn't get him to go to practice or anything and was planning on taking him out after this first game. He said his teammates didn't like him and was very intimidated. When Brody visited Grandpa and Grandma J this week he invited them to come see him play and that is where I discovered the secret.... BRODY LOVES ATTENTION. It started raining right before his game (and finished right after, talk about luck) but Brody ran out on the field and had a grin the whole time. He even ran in the right direction a couple times, but he was so busy checking every few minutes that we were all watching he missed the soccer ball going right by him a few times. (He even chewed Colby out for leaving and playing for a while) After the game he was sure to mention that he wanted Grandpa and Grandma there next week then he goes and Lexi's Dad ...... actually Travis and Lexi we started laughing so he didn't get to finish the list. As long as he has fun the whole point is getting him around other kids and playing so we will keep him in.
Getting all excited to go play (from the camera phone so blury)
