Carter is playing soccer...

Ahh- spring is here, and so a new sports season begins. What can be more entertaining than sitting in the spring sun, wind and rain? Watching a group of five-year olds run around, after a ball, near a ball, or not even know the ball is there anymore.

Carter is one of the tallest boys on his team, and can run really fast. Turning 5, and turning 5 1/2 today has pushed Carter into a new realm. Where he was once shy and tentative, he can often be one of the loudest, most gregarious members on his team. The coaches always comment that he is always so happy when he is playing. Even though the details and nuance of soccer are perplexing, when he isn't thinking too much about it all, he is having a blast.
