I'm a soccer Mom.

Owen had his first ever soccer practice and game, back to back on Saturday.  I was pretty nervous to see his reaction to the whole thing.  Anyone who knows Owen knows that he is veeeeery shy in new situations.  Not even just new situations!  Pretty much most situations.

He did cry when we first got out of the car, and said, "I wish I never signed up for soccer!"  But as soon as he was away from me, and listening to his great coach (Bennett's coach from last year, actually), he was totally fine.  

And get this:  he kicked the ball!  Many times!  And he was smiling and having little fun friend moments with kids on his team and the other team throughout.  Phew.
