Lucius Summer time fun...

Just cause Lucius is kind of a rock star of a kid and doesn't always get enough of the attention...

Here's a few fun Summertime photos of Lucius enjoying his best life!

And here is a picture of Lucius with what I can only say is his absolutely favoritest soccer coach to date, Max!  After the first day of soccer practice with coach max I asked Lucius how it went. Lucius said "Mom! He said we were awful!!". I thought that an odd statement to make so excitedly. But Lucius was thrilled, he went on to say "He yelled at us and said we were horrible but said that was a good thing because we could get better!". Lucius actually really loved coach Max's yelling style and the way he held the kids accountable. Lucius loved being coached by a really competitive person and how Max pushed all the kids to be better and give more of themselves on the field. After I saw the coach in action, it totally all made sense. 

Lucius' fall soccer...

Lucius' fall soccer is coming to an end. He has loved playing on the Blackhawks team and will probably continue winter training and might play again in the spring. It's been really fun to see him progress from playing with kids to really looking like a real soccer team. The games are fun to watch and he loves it.

He practices so much at home that he has worn out both shoes and soccer balls.

Lucius made it to the second highest U10 team out of 5 different teams he could have been on in the Blackhawks. Which is cool that he is keeping up with the higher level of players this season. He could use work on his footwork, but he really is doing an amazing job passionately trying to improve his skills.
