Soccer & A Cookie Treat

Dawson is finally old enough to start playing sports. To start us off.... soccer season! After his first practice Dawson said he wanted his team to be red. They don't get to choose, but guess what!? We were given red!

The uniforms are so big, but they look so cute on the boys. 

 The huddle was initiated by Dawson and still is every time we've had a game. Dawson herds up the boys and they chat. They only play 4 on 4 at this age with no goalie. It is soooo entertaining! These boys are so young they get so excited when they make a goal!

 Dawson coming around to stop the ball.

 Can you see him in the back with his arms raised? He's in the center of the pic and he'd just made his very first goal in his very first game! WHOOHOO!

After this game he called Megan, who is a major soccer player and fan, and said, "I scored a goal!" and "I'm better at soccer than you are." It was hilarious!

 Game 2- Dawson scored another goal! He is right behind the ball in this picture getting ready to kick it down the field.

 He is looking right at me and smiling!

We've come to find that Dawson is really good at getting the ball out of jams in between all the kids. He is a good defender! He loves soccer and loves his team. He's making lots of friends and so are J.D. and I. We are so proud of Dawson and how he is such a good sport. He takes care of everyone on his team.

Also, this was the game that we were in charge of treats. The day before we'd made cookies just for the heck of it. Dawson helped with everything! AND he wanted to dye the cookies red.... they came out pink. I've never had dyed chocolate chip cookies, but they were delicious!  

Dawson helped mix the dough, roll them into little balls, take them off the pan and put them onto the cooling rack, and then stacked them into the tupperware! He was amazing! He helped so much I was actually able to clean the kitchen in between it all! 

The cookies were a huge success and the team loved the color!

Dawson is so good to help me with baking and cooking, especially with his own apron. 

You are so awesome Dawson!
