Saturday...

Today was soccer picture day before the game. The little team looked so cute in their uniforms cheesing it up. Thank goodness we are finally at a place where Braden looks at the camera and smiles! It only took 3 1/2 years to get there. :) He did great for pictures, had a ton of fun during warm-ups and then something definitely changed when the game started. He ran and kicked the ball once and then when someone else got it he just started crying and ran off the field defeated. Where does this stuff come from? He did that a little the first game and then was fine the last few, but today decided that "soccer was hard" and he really never went back in. Of course we were getting mad at him because he was acting ridiculous and we kept saying get back out there or you don't get the treat today (we are parents of the year) but he didn't care. He was already convinced that he couldn't do it today and it was too hard. You'd think we are drilling him at home or something on soccer....uh no. I hate to say he probably gets the emotional, being hard on yourself stuff from me. :( Once the game was over and things settled down, I tried to remind Chris and even me that he is 3 and sports can be a little unpredictable. :) Hopefully next week will go better.

Ethan had fun standing and cheering for the team with Papa T

This is not soccer, but my boys were dressed alike tonight for church and they just looked SO cute by each other. :) When they are getting along, they sure look sweet together!
