The Highlighters

Yes, we recently joined the leagues of soccer moms and dads.  Yes, Aaron is only four.  Yes, we made this decision mostly for our own entertainment purposes.  His team is called "the highlighters" for obvious, awesome reasons.  Watching him has been the highlight of our month.

Aaron looks awesome in his very own, "highlighter colored" jersey (we can see him from the opposite end of the indoor facility).  He can finally use the soccer shoes we bought him at DI two years ago for their intended purpose.   

 Being on a team is a good way for him to make friends.  It's also a great way for us to meet up with our friends.  His coach is one of Jonny's good friends from med school, and we have known many other kiddos on the team since they were babes in arms during our first year.

 Aaron sometimes looks like this on the field (examining this or that, usually nothing in particular associated with soccer).

 Sometimes like this (aggressively running in an exaggerated fashion toward a goal...not always the right one).

But usually like this (trying to decide where the ball went and what to do with it when it reappears).

 And, when the game is over they all attempt a line-up high five.  Cute.

Oh yes--one important aspect: little brother, copying his older brother's field "falling" talent.  Yes, Aaron already has his fake soccer injury roll down to an art.  JJ is working on it.
