The smallest soccer player

During the last session of soccer, poor Coen had to just sit with mommy and watch Carter. He was too young since this is a 3-4 year old class. When I approached the coach about letting him give it a try, I got the big blow off. I'm sure everyone thinks their kid is the exception, but I figured that Coen just copies Carter anyway and he is actually really good at kicking the ball where it needs to go. Anyway, I gave up and he just sat and watched.

One night Chris was able to make it to class and used his special magic. Just like that Coen was signed up for the next session with the condition that the coach could kick him out if he couldn't keep up.

Tonight was his first night and he did great! Coach said no problem, he can stay in the class! The oldest kid in the class, on the other hand, well... I think the coach had a different talk with his parents. He cried the whole time and would not leave their side. Poor guy!

Both boys are in the smallest size shirt. You can tell they are not meant for 2 1/2 year olds :)
