A couple of years ago Tyler nicknamed Josiah "Siah-lopolis the Italian football player", and with Siah's long curly blond hair, and short stick like build he looked the part. This fall Josiah has had a chance to show his skills as an Italian football player. Unfortunately, Josiah's skill of not paying attention has made its way into the active sport. While everyone is running after this small ball, Siah looks like a man lost in a field looking for a place to go. While he sometimes does in fact run for the ball, he mostly spends his time looking around and wandering aimlessly around the field. He reminds me of a certain young boy I once knew who used to sit down and play with the flowers in the outfield. I guess that is what I get for naming my son after that flower picking boy.
Elijah the Goalie making a great save!
Elijah is also playing Soccer with Josiah and although he pays better attention and is a great goalie: He is no (insert famous football player name here). With that said, both Eli and Si have enjoyed playing and not playing Soccer this fall. Maybe, just maybe, they will want to do it again next year and help nourish those wonderful sport skills.
