The first game

Yesterday was Aidan’s first game.  It was so cute!  We even had one little boy try to score going the wrong direction…it was just a little bit off from the goal.  He was soon straightened out and caught on pretty quick which direction to score in from then on.  Aidan’s main duty on the field seems to be to throw the ball in.  The little kids really don’t have lots of control over the ball.  At least not all of them, because there are a few out there that are wonderful at turning the ball around and stopping it and keeping it in bounds.  Aidan is really good at being right there when the coach needs someone to throw it in, has good aim and a pretty strong arm to get it where the coach tells him to throw it in, so that is his “job”.  He loves it, but really wants to be the kid that scores the goal.  Hopefully with all these games that we have he will have the opportunity to score at least once, as it would make him so happy.  

His Neena and Poppa got to be at his first game, and will probably attend several of them, but as Neena is still recovering from her DVT, they probably won’t make it to all of them.  

The scatterbrained mommy that I am, I forgot to grab the camera to take pictures with.  At the jamboree I was only able to get a few pictures since my hands we full with the 2 girls.  I thought since Adam would be at the game that it would be a good time to get some good pictures of the kids playing, but I left the fully charged camera with an empty 512 mb memory stick in it on the desk at home.  Thankfully it was the only thing that I forgot and will have plenty of opportunity to take pictures tomorrow.
