Josh had his first soccer game tonight. He is on the U10 team (under 10) which means that all the players are 8 and 9 years old. Josh is the very youngest. This is his first time playing on a full sized field, with full sized goals. The park here in Belton is really nice, and since they play on weeknights, they get to play under the lights, which Josh thinks is pretty cool. Being the youngest on his team hasn't slowed him down one bit. Tonight's game was a shut out...we won something like 12-0. Josh scored 3 of the 12 goals! Halfway through the game, Josh got kicked in the foot. It blew a hole right in his cleats. Granted these cleats have been used for two seasons now, and I believe they were used for a season or two by his cousin Matt, too. But even though Josh had a GAPING hole, which exposed his blue sock, he kept on going, scoring the second and third of his goals with basically half a cleat. Too bad we didn't have any duct tape in the car...Josh would have been MORTIFIED! Great first game! Jonathan plays tomorrow night. Hope we don't have any more cleat blow outs!
