The Boy Loves Footy

This boy loves playing football!
He loves to welly the ball as far as he can too! We are forever 'loosing' balls in various neighbours gardens. Jordan has learnt to knock & apologise & ask for his ball back politely. He is slowly learning to take more care too!
Last term Jordan, Timmy & Luke joined our church's Boy Brigade Company. They are loving it so much! The crafts, the games, new ways to learn Bible verses & pray, the army style drills, the uniforms, the new friends... The BB leader was especially excited that Jordan was joining the Junior Company as it meant that at long last they had enough boys for the regional 5-a-side competition! (The Anchor Boys, which is Timmy & Luke's age group is very large as is the Seniors. Not sure why Junior Company is so small). Anyway, one Saturday in July we all went to watch as all the BB Companies joined to play football. This is Jordan's team having a team huddle with one of their BB Captains.
It was fun even though it was very competitive- there is a lot of rivalry between companies as many of the leaders used to be kids in the BB with the other company leaders. They've all grown up together- it's like a big family I guess. Jordan's team came third. Not a bad effort when you consider they had to use everyone from the Junior Company & didn't get to pick the best of the best like the other companies could. The star player was actually a girl from another BB Company. She was a very good goalie! The photo is of Jordan's sweet little shoes covered in astro turf 'fluff'! Hee hee!
Jordan also loves to run! He is very very fast! He loves to race his Daddy (who is also very very fast)!
Unlike Jordan, Daddy needs a sit down after a race! Annie-Joy loves her Daddy. :o)
