I’m happy that my son is enjoying soccer. It was a good decision to enroll him in soccer this summer. Although I admit I wasn’t too keen on the idea at first but hubby (who also plays soccer) insisted that we let our son choose the sport he wants. It’s great exercise for my son and the sport is a wonderful way to teach my son the essence of team work and camaraderie. They will have a mini soccer cup two weeks from now. I’m excited to watch my son in action.
