My Life is Complete...

The ultimate goal has been reached... I can now officially say, "Hi, my name is Shiloh and I am a soccer mom!"  No minivan... but I have two boys playing soccer!!!


Cohen is playing on the preschool league and his team name is the ROCKETS.




Arlo is on the beginner league and his team name is the TIGERS.




Even though the boys were on different teams, we got lucky and got their practice on the same field at the same time.  So, instead of soccer 4 days a week, we only have soccer 3 days a week.

Arlo was born for soccer...

He loves it!  He was on the same team as his two friends,




 and he is good at it!  At one game he made 3 goals.  We are so proud of him!

Cohen on the other hand, I think might have been a little young (if not in age, then in mind) and I say that very lovingly!!!!!  He was so excited for soccer.  This is his first activity that he has been a part of.





And then we got to his first game and when we went to put on his uniform (that they handed out at the first game) he melted down, and this is how his first game went...



It did not go well, so for the next game we were ready with.... a bribe:)  And this is how his second game went...




He did so well!  We were so happy and so proud!!!!  But let me get one thing clear, this is the only game he played like this.  For the rest of the season we battled with tears or we watched Cohen standing on the soccer field playing some imaginary game in his head or running at least 5 feet behind the last player.  But, he did have fun.  

The season came and went so fast!  And both boys were on leagues that do not keep score, and everyone gets a trophy.  So, here is Arlo receiving his "good work" trophy:)





And here is Cohen at his last game and him with his "good work" trophy.





And, I had to put up one picture of the cutest cheerleader out on the field!  She went to 95% of the boys' games and practices and she was the best trooper!
