Benefits of Being the Younger Brother

All our kids have played sports over the years and through all the soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and football games our youngest son Kyron has been exposed to hours and hours of sports and activity, just waiting his turn. 

His turn finally came several weeks ago when he started soccer.  I blogged at that time about his first game, but we didn't realize how good he would do or how much he would like it.

The great thing about Kyron is that he seems to have fun doing whatever has his attention at the moment.  Every moment is full of smiles and it's no different each Saturday as he's playing soccer.  He's fun to watch because he clearly is just out there having fun.  When you're good at something it makes it easy to have fun, and Kyron is pretty good at soccer.  It helps that he's just bigger and faster than the other kids out there (that will change, he has my genes...) and he's been watching and playing with his older siblings for year, but for now, he's way better than other kids his age on the soccer field.  The other team hasn't scored all season when he is on the field and he hasn't had a game with fewer than six goals!

I think we'll spend the rest of the season focusing on passing and playing defense, but even his older brothers have to admit that #3 is a little superstar - at least in our house.
