Superstar!

Awhile back I posted about Dax starting to play soccer. The Pandas, his team, were a sweet bunch with spurts of energy, distractable personalities, a few who dropped out as the season progressed, and a core of 3 kiddos who had fun together, while losing most of their games pretty significantly. The last few weeks Dax started to show a little more fire and scored a goal each game. We were so proud of him!

I got to coach his team one week while Coach Laura ran a half marathon

Trying to motivate three-year-olds is not an easy task!

He works hard at defense...

and offense!

Go Dax!

Heading toward the goal...

And dribbling past the other team...

Oops! Went out of bounds for a second so he just moved the ball back in play, ha! That run did end in a goal, but we didn't get a photo.

Dax with his medal

This week was his last game until the summer session starts. It was a little rainy, but that didn't seem to bother Dax. He stole the ball from the other team multiple times and scored 8 (yes, 8!) goals! We were shocked, impressed, and so proud of our amazing boy. Who knows if soccer will continue to be his thing, but as long as he's enjoying it, we are excited to watch him play!

Auntie Shannon came to this week's game - good luck charm?

Proud of his 8 goals!
