Okay, well "success" might be stating it a tad strongly. hehe The kid loves to run though, and he ended up having a blast, so all in all, I'd call it a success! MJ just wrapped up his first soccer season. It was a fun learning experience for him I think and something we'll look forward to doing again next year. They run a summer league, but due to travel plans, we're going to sit this one out. MJ has gotten to enjoy lots of special visitors for his soccer games. The Backes family watched him a few weeks back, Aunt Kelly was here just a couple weeks ago, and then Gigi and PopPop were here for his final game. He loves to run by and wave to his adoring fans! Such a ham! At one point as he was running back onto the field after a much needed drink break, I yelled to him, "Kick the ball, MJ!" His response? ..... "I no like to kick the ball." Well, gee....

Posing for mommy...love this face that he gave me when I said to give a big smile :)
Our baby boy is growing up!

We'll see what the future holds. Who knows if MJ will develop a love for soccer down the road, a different sport, maybe even a musical instrument, gymnastics, etc. For now though it's fun exposing him to different activities and watching him learn and develop new skills.....or just run around waving to his family and friends! :)

It was such a hoot sitting on the sidelines watching him "play", or run and wave! I absolutely LOVED it! And I got to cuddle with Charlotte at the same time. Sure brings back memories ~
A proud Gigi
I love the pic of him with his foot on the ball & his mouth in the hugest smile I've ever seen! So cute!! It's funny that he "no like to kick the ball!" lol
