Literally, the last game of the season it was like we were watching a totally different kid! During the season Taylor liked to share the ball and wait his turn and expected the ball to come to him. But the last game he became a little aggressive soccer player, which was great to see but a little humorous at the same time.
Taylor would get his game face on and would run as fast as he could to get in the middle of the action so that he could get the ball!
Waiting for the whistle to blow so they could kick the ball!
There Taylor goes fighting to kick the ball first!
Dribbling the ball down the field!
Now Haley and Taylor or fighting over the ball, they both wanted it so badly! Haley was twice little Taylor's size, too funny!
Here he his again fighting for the ball!
Taylor came running over to us in the middle of play, breathing hard (faking it) and said he was hot and need a drink break.
Taylor likes talking it up with the referees!
Ready to kick it into play!
Taylor was ready for play at all times during this game!
This was the most contact he had during all of his games, I think he actually got the idea of soccer too bad it was his last game of the season! It was great to see him grow into learning the sport of soccer and come to love it!
Haley and Taylor making there way through the victory tunnel!
During the game Taylor got so aggressive that when he was trying to steal the ball he had pushed down a little girl on the other team. We made him apologize to the little girl after the game, which he did with no hesitation, he ran over to her in front of her parents and kindly apologized. When he ran back over to us, we noticed three scratches on his cheek and when we asked how he got scratched during the game. And his simple response was..."that girl scratched me on my face when I was trying to get the ball so I tried again and that is when I pushed her down". So that is when we proceeded to explain to him she probably scratched you on accident and that it does not mean that you should push her down because she scratched you. Then after listening to both of us very intently he said..."while I pushed her on accident". All I have to say is that I love the 3 year old stage!!!
