Cade had his last indoor soccer game today and his team (made up of 3rd and 4th graders) was short two players because of Spring Break. So, after we were told that a 4th grade sister could not be added to the team (no girls allowed!) someone suggested (probably jokingly) that Willem should play. We had extra gear in the car and Will was all for it (Chad wasn't so sure!), so in he went! He started out playing goalie, diving for saves and doing great; he really made some good saves but he couldn't stop the shots above his reach! He then went on the field and hustled like mad. Running all over the field with no fear and actually getting around a few kids. The parents for the teams waiting to play the next game were all talking about the little kid out there; how cute and little he was and how he was hustling. The coach was even nice enough to let him take some free kicks. Willem was very proud; a 5 year old playing with 8, 9 & 10 year olds! After the game (red face and all), he asked, 'Does Cade have another game? Can I play on his team again?' Cade's team lost 6-3 but still won their league this session with a 6-2 record.
Willem looked so small compared to the big kids!
Willem always takes games so seriously, it's great to see his expressions throughout
Go Willem!
Again, taking it so seriously!
Working hard!****************
After the game, Cade and Willem had fun in the car, using the camera to take pictures of themselves and Genevieve (as well as cars and basketball hoops we passed on the drive!). I also jumped in and took a few shots!
Cade and Willem
Goofballs!
Willem being 'cool'
Sweet, sleeping Genevieve

How FUN for Willem! I love the pictures of the boys - classic memories for them :)
