Someday - World Cup?

My boys have recently taken to talking about how some day...many days from today....they are going to be playing in the World Cup. Together. Owen on offense. Emmett on defense. I love that they love each other.

So, for indoor soccer season this year, we put Owen and Emmett on a house (non-competitive) soccer team. It's a U9/10 league, so Emmett is the absolute youngest (and smallest). But, what the heck? It means they play at the same time every Saturday. Bonus for us. I was a little nervous that Emmett would be intimidated by playing w/ the bigger and older players, but he ran right out there. It's also the first time he's ever played a full field. But, he definitely holds his own. It is so much fun to watch them together. Emmett plays defense and Owen plays offense, so Emmett often passes the ball up to Owen. FUN!
