Soccer 2015
Today concluded yet another season of soccer for the Sooys. We started in the summer with a warm-up session of Little Kicks for both Sean and Clare. We got to watch the kids polish their skills in the comfort of a brand-new air-conditioned field house:
After each session, the kids' coaches would give out patches based on a certain skill. The first week, the kids each got a patch for good listening!
After six successful Little Kicks classes, the kids were primed and ready for our town's recreational league or "Town Soccer" as they call it. After two years of watching Sean play Town Soccer, Clare was primed and ready to play on her own team in the U-6 (Under 6 year olds) league. She was put on the White team (go White Lightning!) and played her heart out each week in her hot pink cleats :-)
Most weeks, Clare would have the 8:30am game and Sean would have the 11am game, so after Clare's game wrapped up, we'd head over to a nearby field to catch Sean's games in the U-8 league.
Sean was on the yellow team this year and they decided on the "Heat" as a team name. The U-8 league is a little more serious - there are refs (high-school kids), a pre-game captains' meeting, and 4 15-minute quarters with a half-time. Sean had a great coach this year who made sure that each boy played a different position during each quarter.
At Sean's last game today, he got to play a variety of positions, take a corner kick and take his trun at a throw-in:

Even though some mornings were exhausting, it was a lot of fun watching these two play each week.
At Clare's last game, her coach threw a little pizza party and gave out trophies:
Sean was happy to be by her side when she received her first trophy:

Afterwards, the team celebrated their (undefeated!) season with snacks and... trophies!

Firsts!
Seany lost his FIRST tooth yesterday on the way to soccer! After a trip to Wawa, Sean bit down on his pre-game snack and the tooth was left dangling precariously from his mouth. Daddy was able to help Sean out when they got to the fields. Sean carried on with his next-to-last practice and game before... getting to Clare's last game where she got her FIRST trophy!
