Nothin' Can Stop the Sharks!

As many of you know, Rowan has been playing in a soccer league this spring. He has really enjoyed being with a bunch of boys (and one girl) out on the field running like mad after the ball. It really is funny to watch 4-year olds run in herds after one small object. Their coordination still has a long way to go in terms of development and they have no concept of BRAKES! It can be hilarious to watch. Rowan has definitely shown improvement since the start, but most of all he enjoys his time out there every week.

2 weeks ago when I took these pictures he played the hardest he'd ever played. He really tried to stay focused on the game and was really participating the whole time he was out there. He ran, he kicked, he cheered on his teammates. It was so fun to watch! When we got in the car after grabbing his snack I was telling him how proud I was and how great he did and going on and on really. His only response- "Nothin' can stop the sharks". I laughed so hard. No, the sharks is not his team name or mascot, but rather his cleets. They are red and black with a shark print across them and big white teeth. Apparantly he attributes all of his succes to his shoes. I'm not sure about this, but I'm pretty sure Michael Jordan would be both impressed and agree with Rowan's attitude. Too cute!
