I picked up Juma from school yesterday to have his teacher tell me that they played soccer--"and Juma sure can play!" she said. "He played goalie. And he blocked every single shot!"
Okay, so what boy with the name Beckham can spend months in Africa (or anywhere outside the US, for that matter) and not learn to play soccer?
But he's in preschool for crying out loud, and those poor little 3 and 4 year old classmates of his just wanted to kick the ball and make a goal. And we have our little Beckham there blocking every last one of them. Denied!
He takes sports seriously. A couple weeks ago, his teacher told us he was playing defense in basketball, knocking shots down away from the rim. So maybe he'll be great at sports. But if he has this much of a competitive streak at age 4...

JUSTIN DIDN'T GET KICKED OUT OF HIS FIRST GAME UNTIL AGE 10 OR 11, BUT HE FOULED OUT A LOT-- GO JUMA BALL. . . .
I got kicked out of a game?
I don't remember this, tell me more....
I guess I was the one that got kicked out of one of your basebakk games at McNamra Park. You did manage to foul out of most of your basketball games, especially against 1st ward and the Hansen and Callister boys, not to mention the Brinks kid. . . .Colby? , but you managed to steal the ball a lot, too.
Yeah! That's where Juma gets it. Justin didn't even wait until we were married to show his ability to get kicked out of games.
But I married him anyway.
Thank goodness.
haha, yup all the beckhams have that competitive temper, i even got a little of it..but not compared to the boys.
Keep Juma playing soccer, I'm so proud!! hehe
