Larson is now a soccer player.
He was 2 weeks too old to play on his same baseball team. The first thing he said was I want to try soccer!
Larson took off running, literally. He ran so hard and was so out of breath when he would come to the sidelines.
Larson had to get drafted onto this team to get on with his other friends so he only got one practice in. I think for the first time, I actually saw Larson nervous. He was very excited but nervous before his first game.
By the time that he came out for the first sub, he knew he loved this game.
I was having so much fun watching him try to figure it out. For it being his first game, he looked like he had played for years. He was lucky enough to score in this game too!
I think he was surprised at how fast and how long you needed to run for soccer.
Jack and Larson
Everything around us kind of disappears when we are out there cheering him on. Its such a great time.
Same day, Jackson had his first flag football game. One year later, we have a really different perspective where this sport is concerned. This happened because we entered the world of tackle football. So flag is like spring training. Definitely, more laid back. Jackson, just go out there and have fun. Well, isnt that what it is always suppose to be? Yes, its suppose to be that way but competition takes over sometimes.
Jackson's catching has totally gone up another level since flag last year. He didnt even learn that from tackle. He was strictly defense and never caught a ball in a game. I think it is just Erik and Jackson out there throwing and catching all the time.
So for this spring, we will enjoy watching Jackson "just having fun".
