He Did It!

YES, He actually did it. It took him the whole season but he scored two goals. Tyler started soccer this year and loved it! The social part that is. He loved going to practices and playing with his friends but actually playing the game was another story. There were 3 others on the team from our ward. So he had fun with his friends. He would be out there on the field picking grass and just walking along and not paying attention to what he should be doing. If the ball came by him he would kick it, even if it was in the wrong direction. It was quite funny to watch him. We kept telling him to kick the ball in the goal and he didn't want to. He was just out there having fun running around.
Carter is his #1 fan. He would be out there yelling "Kick ball Ty, kick ball. Go, Go, Go Ty" Everyone loved to hear Carter yelling out there. He is our quiet one and keeps to himself. If someone comes up to him he gets all bashful and either drops to the floor and buries his face or stays standing and covers his face with his hands. It is so cute. People think that he doesn't talk but he does once he gets warmed up to you.
Anyways, It was really hard on Matt to have Tyler not be so interesting in the game. Matt would practice with him at home and get him excited for the game but Tyler just didn't care about scoring a goal. Then came the last game, Matt told Tyler that he would take him to the store to get a new toy if he scored a goal. So there were several times out there on the field that he could of scored but it got knocked out. Then he finally scored a goal. The crowd went wild! We were all excited that he finally scored. Tyler couldn't believe it, he ran across the field and told his coach and then came over to parents too (This was while the game was still going on). He was floating on cloud nine. Then at the end of the game he scored another goal. We were all so happy for him. After the game Tyler was telling everyone "I scored two goals!" His coaches said "Yeah, Tyler we have been waiting all season for that, Good Job!" We were so proud of him.
I am so glad that the season is over. It is nice to have my evenings back and I don't have to worry about getting him to practices or games. Now we get a little break before he starts Basketball. We will see how he does with that sport!
