Brayden has been begging to play soccer for a year now, since spending almost 2 weeks with his cousin, Dakota, in California- Dakota is 6 years older than Brayden, and quite a good soccer player. We went to one of his games last year (where Dakota scored a goal "just for Brayden"), and Brayden hasn't stopped talking about it since. Everytime we pass the soccer fields, I hear "when am I going to get to play soccer?"
Well, today was the day! He was so excited from the moment he got up today. We had one little issue with him pouting, because he apparently thought that he was going to walk right on the field and start kicking goals. After a brief chat with him, explaining that he needs to warm up and practice, in order to learn how to do it the right way, he straightened right up.

Here he is practicing his kicks and dribbling:
And, as I had promised, after some practicing, his chance came to kick some goals-- even making the goalie (his coach) fall down trying to save the ball (well, not really, but Brayden got to think that he kicked it that hard) !
