In the fall we finally decided it was time for Jaxon to play some organized sports and he chose soccer. We were SO SO blessed to get on a great team with a great coach and some really really nice kids! The coach has continued to coach through winter season, and spring season which is about to start, and almost all the kids have continued to play together, so it has been a wonderful social, and athletic experience for Jaxon. When he first started we didn't have much hope that he would ever be a soccer star, and really just wanted to work on coordination and teamwork. He was content in the games to run near the ball but never touch it, so we decided to up the anti a little! We told Jaxon we would give him $20 if he scored a goal- next game, guess what he did???
SCORE!!!
After that we told him scoring was just for fun and has team, and he has scored 4 goals in the two seasons so far. He has come SO SO SO SO FAR in his skill, understanding, and coordination, and we will be sad to see spring season end, because they he and a few others will be too old to play on this coach's team.
Jaxon thoroughly enjoys practice with his teammates as much as games!

| What he doesn't enjoy is having his picture taken! |

| Blurry, but a good action shot |

| happy player |

| tic-toc drill |
At the games Jaxon gets so excited that if he is not running with/near/after the ball, he can usually be found jumping for joy!!!

| This is Jaxon at Goalie. He doesn't actually enjoy goalie that much, becuase he doesn't get to RUN!! |

| Running with the pack! |
