Carter is on the black team, which he was happy about, cause he think black is a cool color.
He stole the ball...
Carter hustling to make a goal...he didn't make it but he sure tried hard!
So for Christmas, one of Carter's Christmas presents was a soccer ball and a certificate saying he was signed up to play Soccer on a real soccer team! THis past saturday was his first practice/game! The day before Carter and I went out and bought him some oh so cool black soccer cleats!!! Oh my gosh little did I know this was going to be his new obsession! The second we got home he wanted to wear them in the house. He couldn't stop looking at them and admiring them. He said "I have cool, black soccer cleats like my daddy!" , "Daddy will like these cause they are black and have just a lil' bit of white on them.", "I can run really fast with these on!", "They have spiky things on the bottom, thats why I run fast with them." Carter had many other comments about his cool SOCCER CLEATS! Wow, he was so happy and excited to have his own cleats and to start soccer. That night when I put him to bed, I had his soccer shoes and ball laid out on the ground ready for his big soccer day the next day. I said good night and walked out. Jono and I began watching a movie, when I said," wait stop the movie, I think I hear carter talking to himself." I went to go and peak on him and found him with his little reading light on by his bed and his soccer shoes up on the ledge by his bed just starring at them and talking about them to himself. Keep in mind he sleeps on the top bunk of a bunk bed, so that means he snuck down off of the top bunk got his soccer cleats and brought them back up with him so he could look at them and admire them! I thought that was the cutest thing ever! I couldn't make out what he was saying cause he was trying to talk so quietly, but I'm sure he was just going off about how cool they are, and that they are black and have spiky things on the bottom, etc.! So yes these happen to be Carters absolute favorite thing right now. He wants to wear them all the time!! Carter had his game on saturday and loved it! He did really good for his first time playing on a team, not to mention it is hilarious to watch a team full of 3 & 4 year olds run around. I am so glad we signed him up and glad he is loving it! He is my little cu-tie, it will be fun for the next 6 weeks being a soccer mom and cheering him on!

That's one cool dude. He will be buzzin' in and out of the teams and up and down the field...making goals!
It tickled me to read about his excitement over his cleats...talking to them in bed. Thanks for sharing.

You are so smart to write all this good stuff down. I loved reading it and could feel Carter's excitement. He is quite the little athlete isn't he. I wish I were there to see him play. You will be the perfect soccer mom. How does Jonathan do with being a soccer Dad? I could see him getting into it. Thanks for sharing Shelly. ILYToxoxox
That's so cute! Amazing what seemingly little minor things to us, are a really big deal to our kids. Makes me realize it doesn't always take much to please them.
