Soccer Cubs

 Yesterday was Connor's first day at Soccer Cubs.  To say he loved it would be an understatement.
 He is in a class with 3 other kids and one amazingly patient teacher.  The other children are closer to 4, but Connor towered over them.  I'm not sure if the other parents believed me that I had him in the right class!
This is the first time C has done an activity with no parent involvement.  It was definitely a new experience for both of us.  I don't know any other way to describe it, but Connor has such a BIG personality that he was not afraid to speak up and share his ideas on how they should do things.  He loves to be the leader and is going to have to practice being more of a listener.  It was a humbling experience to sit back and not be able to help redirect his energy. :)
Mimi, Carson, and I sat in the stands and watched through the glass.  The field is completely enclosed which is great for no run away balls or 3 year olds.
The whole 45 minutes was seriously a comedy act.  We had so much fun watching the kids run around with excitement trying to practice their newly learned skills.  They were all so cute!
Connor was putting on a show the whole time and came over to flash a few smiles for the crowd.  He was SO proud of himself.
It is amazing how much he learned in one day.  He came home and has been practicing all his new tricks.  I hope he has as much fun next week!  

Our day also included a trip to the doctor for his 3 year check up.  No one will be surprised, but she said he was about the size of an average 5 year old.  She could not believe how much he had grown (42 1/4 inches and 48 pounds!)  Wow!  
The doctor said he looked just perfect and was so sweet to reassure me that all of our "hard" phases were just perfectly normal for this age.  Of course he loves our doctor so much he would do anything she said. He thanked her after every test or check and was really putting on the charm!
I'm doing my best to soak up every minute with this sweet guy!
