Pretty sure Todd has been dreaming of coaching his kid's soccer team before the kids were born :-). We were so excited when we saw the schedule for Bodie's team and realized that even with his crazy schedule Todd could be the coach. The kids and I made posters for McKayla and her friends to hold up during the game and let me tell you...those suckers glitter like you wouldn't believe.
We had our first game this week and it was so much fun. Todd and Bodie had a blast and Bodie has said he will be calling Todd "coach" on game days. McKayla was such a big helper at the game that the other parents named her the official assistant coach and cheerleader. I can't tell you the joy it brought me to cheer my boys on and play "soccer mom"!!! We are really looking forward to more games and more fun.
Side Note: our team consists of 3 and 4 years olds and I'm pretty sure we got the most "just turned 3 year olds" possible...it's pretty funny to see how much younger they really are than the 4 year olds...the poor things have no concept of even how to kick the ball, but they try and as long as they are having fun that is what is important. Todd was SO good about watching out for each kid...taking care of boo boos, crying, wandering and going the wrong direction. All the parents said he did a fantastic job and one little girl even came up and hugged his leg during the game :-).
