Connor just finished his first season of soccer. We went back and forth on whether he was too young but decided to give it a go. He was the only one on the team who actually understood how the game was played and all the fundamentals. His coach said he was a natural! He loved practices and followed along with what the coach said. Then came game time. The first couple of games he started out laughing & kicking the ball. He even scored the first goal. But then...the other team kicked the ball away from him and he did NOT like that. He started crying and walked off the court; he was done. Thankfully by game 3 the tears stopped but we still never knew how he'd "perform." He'd get out there and play for a little bit, but when he was done, he was done. He'd walk off the court (in the middle of play) and sit. Sometimes we'd convince him to go back out there, but he would just stand or have fun running and falling down. Such a stinker!! I think we'll take a year off and try again next spring.
Paw Paw was always on "chasing Reid duty!"
Connor's cheering section!!
His team was called Lucky Charms and he was #10 (like another Baylor athlete that we all know these days!)
Even Reid got in on the action.
Go Connor Go!!
Giving high 5's after scoring a goal.
Showing off his first trophy. He was SO excited to receive it and still talks about it!
