Is there anything sweeter than a 4-year-old playing soccer? Maybe, but I still have to share this photo of the Kid’s first soccer game with you:

It makes me think that I should organize more activities in which the Kid runs around without a clear purpose other than for my viewing pleasure. Do they make cat toys for kids?

    Adorable!! I loved the ages where kids could be kids at sports. It passes quickly around these parts. Hopefully it lasts longer in Canada.

    Awww . . . I remember these games! My kids are older now and their sweat actually smells like sweat - not as cute. My favorite was when 7 of them (or whatever the rules are in your league) were in a clump with the coach shouting “spread out!” 2 were in the backfield picking “flowers” (AKA weeds), and 1 was busy trying to get his snack before the half.

    Adorable!

    @2 - I didn’t realize that sweat didn’t always smell like sweat.

    Small kid sweat smells so delicious you just want to lick them. (did I say that out loud?)

    What Tina said. But now it is more like, “WHEW!?!?!?! is that my baby whose sweat I used to want to lick?” and the oh-so-gentle, “did you put on deoderant today, honey?”

    Wow! That really stopped the conversation. Sorry. Everyone — back to saying how cute The Kid is.
