I was coaching soccer when Little Man was born and he was on the field with me for many practices and games so naturally he has wanted it to be his turn to play. He's been telling folks since he was 2 that when he gets to be 4 he could play soccer and finally the day arrived. Unfortunately the day was very rainy and windy so it was far from ideal conditions. But in between the drops we managed to get that first practice in.
This is what he did a whole LOT of. Doug took about 30 pictures and we have a good dozen where he giving himself a manicure.
But there were a few moments when he stopped preening long enough to play a little soccer.
He made it about 45 minutes into practice before he asked me when we could go home. In his defense he wasn't the first kid to ask! I asked him what he thought of his first practice as we were leaving and his profound words were, "It was boring."
