Today was Colton's first day at soccer tots! He was so cute...He has been asking for the past couple of days "Momma, today is my soccer?" Finally today came and we headed to class. Being completely sport illiterate, I took him to his first soccer class wearing flip flops and apparently being the only mother ever to not think to bring a water bottle. We started the class with stretching in a circle.....Now I certainly had flashbacks at this point to the days of me taking Allie to gymnastics when she was 3 because she NEVER wanted to stretch and I spent the entire time trying to chase her around the gym...I even landed flat on my butt once after slamming my head into an uneven bar that I failed to see since I wasn't watching because I was trying to keep her in my sight!.......Anyway, so Colton and I joined the circle with the other 2 boys and their parents. Colton sat for about 2 secs and lost interest. All he could think about was the equipment surrounding the room. He was definitely on excitement overload. Lucky for me, stretching ended quickly and we moved on to LOTS of running and kicking...his favorite things! I couldn't help but think that his enthusiasm for everything in this new sport more than made up for the "I gotta dance" comment he made while wearing a tutu at Allie's dance recital! Rob will be so proud I thought! During the class the coach told the kids twice to take a break and get a drink of water...which is when the other responsible mothers busted out their little water bottles...Colton needless to stay stood next to the coach wondering where this mystery drink was. Okay, so next week we will definitely have a water bottle..... and knowing me, it will be the cutest water bottle there :o) I was really proud of how well he followed instructions and took to listening to the coaches. One of the coaches asked me how old Colton was and when I told him he said..."That is one fast kid!" Now I know Rob will be proud! I had to post this video I took of Colton smoking the competition!!!....ok, so they are only 2, but a Momma has to be proud!!!!
