BIG RED!

Our little dude is an athlete in training! Afterall, he did walk at nine months (or was it eight...time to break out the baby book!)! He took Small Fry soccer in February where he learned the basics of the sport and shared in the fun with best buddy Trevor. Ever since, he has asked us when he can play soccer again. So we signed him up for a six week league that has games every Saturday, jerseys for the little anklebiters, and trophies for everyone at the end of their season! I expected that Caleb would be totally psyched, but about a third of the way into his first game (on Saturday) he lost all interest. His coaches assure us this is totally normal and disappears after a few games, so we will see. In the meantime, we are hyping him up and hoping for the best!

When he did participate, he did REALLY well! He laughs while he runs after the ball and gets in some great kicks! There are two boys on the team a full year older than him, but he holds his own! He told us that he tries to kick the ball, so I think their speed and expertise frustrate him a little. But he is a trooper and we love him to pieces! He looks so adorable in his uniform! Oh, and his team's name is Big Red! GO TEAM!

After the game, we ran home to shower and pack it up for Waco. Caleb's cousin, Gabriel, turns two in July and was having a train themed birthday party. Right up Caleb's alley! He calls Gabriel, Grab-riel, which is super adorable! Happy Birthday Grabriel!

We went home wiped and absolutely sure that we will not be travelling anywhere for a long while!!!! We are ready for summer at home!
