In the field behind our house is the field to the school where Jason teaches. About this time last year, Ben was very intrigued by large groups of kids around his age showing up there twice a week to kick a ball around. He'd often plead to go play with them, and we would have to then explain-yet again-that he could not as he was neither signed up for the activity nor old enough to do so (sign up I mean).
Great was his excitement last night then, when we took him to the field itself to participate in his very first soccer game! I'm not sure what he loved more; running around, playing with the other kids, or his bright blue uniform. Already this morning he has pleaded several time to be allowed to wear his uniform, and announced his intention to go play soccer out in the yard (thankfully, we do have a ball of our own).
Anyways, here's a few pictures of the great even that he's been looking forward to for over a year.

Good for Ben - soccer is such a great sport. Keep it up - I bet you will be an asset to your team.
You look good in your uniform.

How fun! I loved seeing pictures of wee Ben in his soccer jersey.
Loved reading about Ben's foray into the world of athletics. He looks like he's having a fantastic time :)
