Vernon's first day of soccer practice - ever!

The very first day of soccer practice probably looks the same
for 5 year-olds all over the world...


...putting on brand new shin guards and socks
(not easy on wriggling, squiggling little boy legs)

...posing for a picture in the new soccer uniform
(he's a combined soccer player / Spiderman in this shot)

...learning how to kick with the side of his foot
(when does that ever make sense?)


...playing his first scrimmage
(what 5 year-old kid really understands
the concept of out-of-bounds?)


...first team photo
(it was a chilly April day in Sweden!)


...and a well-deserved popsicle from a proud mama
at the end of his first soccer practice ever.

Soccer is AWESOME!!! That's so cool that you got to see Vernon's first soccer practice! And his mom came too! How great for him to have all the adults that care about him there! That's so cool that Niklas helped him too! You know I wish I was there to see him play! When is his first game? Definitely get pictures of it because I want to see him play!
