i can't believe that soccer season is already over!! how sad! granted ben didn't really spend much time on the field, but i had fun!
his last game was actually his best game. he actually played all by himself. that was a huge step for him. he had to hold coach brad's hand a little bit in the beginning, but by the end he was running and actually going after the ball! he even got an assist! next year will be awesome!
grandpa dave and cindy came to the game today. i attribute ben's sudden surge of bravery to the fact that he had a fresh audience to impress. not to mention grandpa was super excited to give him some special one on one training!
coach brad totally deserves the "coach of the year" award. he is awesome. he never ever gave up on ben. thanks coach! ben loves you!
what soccer game is complete without an otter pop?
and what season is complete without a shiny medal?! this is ben's very first sports "trophy." he was so proud of his "menal." congrats on an adventurous first season big guy! (yes that is red gatorade all over his face and shirt. what crazy mom gives a three year old red gatorade to drink by himself? oh right that was me. oops.)
What can I say, Ben is a rockstar! I'm bummed I never got to see him play, bummer! I love the picture of him with his tongue out and of course the classic otter pop goo all over him! Brad seems like a rad guy and a great coach for the little boys!
