Riley's first SoCcOr GaMe

Yesterday Riley had his first soccer game. It was....interesting. Poor buddy he looked so confused as to what the heck he was supposed to be doing.
When we cheered for him he would stop what he was doing and look at us. Then just smile and wave.
He did get to be the goalie. He LOVES being the goalie because they are the only ones that get to touch the ball with their hands. He stopped the ball two times. But on the third he was "wondering" and the ball went right in. No one knew where Riley went.
Here he is day dreaming of catching the ball:)
This picture captures his true enthusiasm for the game. He is hanging on the net. The team did really good once they started playing. Unfortunately, they lost 2-6.

He is so excited for soccer to start. He got a team shirt (not this one) and socks.
And shin guards.
And a ball.
His coach is is Drew Griffin. This is his first practice.

Randal gets to be his assistant coach. He was pretty excited about that. I asked Riley what his favorite part of soccer is and he said running, kicking, and being the goalie.
