It's Viper Time!

Cooper had his first soccer game of the season today. Their team is the Vipers and he is number 2. Unfortunately they lost the game 3:4 but they all played really well! Last night before bed he was getting very nervous. He doesn't have much confidence about his soccer skills, and he's a bit frightened about getting hurt. So we spent a lot of time talking about just trying your best and working hard! Cooper has definitely improved over last year and it was fun to watch him out on the field.

(He even got to do a throw-in)

(Heading off the field, ready for some water! This heat is awful!)

Good job today Cooper! We are so proud of you!
