A big game

So O has been a little reluctant to actually play soccer.  He practices the whole time with his team but when it comes to game time he usually hangs with me on the sidelines, I think it's the chaos on the field of 10 4yo's running after 1 ball.  We practice at the soccer field in our neighborhood during the week and he is really good but come game time he is just not interested.  Well this week his team only had 3 players, the only 3 boys on the team and somehow he knew he had to play.  He went right in and didn't get a single break, he had a blast and was so proud of himself at the end.

It just so happened that this was the saturday they gave out medals and the kids were more than thrilled to get them.  Since they only had a few players his sisters got to get a medal too and they were just as happy, he quickly reminded them they could not keep them until they play soccer when they are 4yo.  I hope this has given him the confidence to play for the rest of the season, I could see how happy Kev was and O must have asked a million times how awesome he did at his game.

so much fun!
