Our Little Athlete

Cooper has been quite the little athlete this summer. He played in his second season of T-ball. He did very well and was able to play pretty much on his own this year with very little assistance. It was very nice to be able to sit back and watch. He was actively involved and had a great time.

Cooper running to first base. We love the open mouth expression as he runs. :)

Micro Soccer started last week. They started games before they had their first practice, so Cooper jumped right into real soccer. It was completely different from last years soccer where they just practiced. It took Cooper about 10 minutes to get into the game, but once he got in there and played he loved it. He scored a goal the first game, but it happened to be in the opponents goal. It was about 90 degrees out, which did not feel like soccer weather. The second game he scored a goal in the correct goal. He was so excited. He ran over and said, "Mom did you see me score that touchdown." It was pretty cute. Dad missed seeing it by about 5 minutes. Darn it. The third day of soccer was practice and Cooper participated, but kept saying he wanted to play in a real game. He has a great time out their on the field and he can burns lots of energy doing it.
They play four on four. This game can be very violent at times, but it is so much fun to watch.
