No Chair

Hayden has played soccer for three seasons.  Each practice and game, Logan faithfully sat on the sideline, desperate to play.  He would always dress in soccer clothes and wear Hayden's old jerseys, soccer socks and soccer shoes.  He would always ask if he could go on the field but we'd have to say 'no' and lure him to pass the ball with us between soccer fields.

The local YMCA here has soccer teams for 3 year olds.  So, this season, Hayden and Logan are on a team.  Logan is SOOOO excited!  He has been talking about soccer practice for weeks.  He proudly told our neighbor, "We're going to soccer practice and I don't need a chair."  At last, he gets to play on the field...a long wait when you are 3 and a half.

At the end of practice, the coach called the kids over for a huddle and told them that their team name is the Eagles.  They did a quick cheer and out of sheer delight and joy, Logan threw his arms around the coach's neck!
