Lil' Kickers

My nephew Moses is in a soccer league. They're called The Lil' Kickers, three and four-year-old boys and girls doing their best to play the game of soccer. They don't always get the concept, and lots of times the kids just run off the field to their parents and don't make it back out there. And even when the kids are kicking it into the wrong goal, we still cheer because at least they're playing and kicking. It's so adorable, and little Mo is so cute in his soccer gear. Here's a video of him playing last week. (He's the cute little blond who falls down, then gets up and plays with the other kid!)



Today his team had their best game so far, actually making a few goals (even if they were at the wrong end). Mo even got into the game more than he has before and had some pretty good runs down the field.



And afterward there were treats, cuz the kids gotta have some sort of motivation for playing. Nothing rewards a game of soccer like a Twinkie and a CapriSun!
