Calling

Karsten has found his calling in life. It is called soccer. Maybe it's been because his older sisters have been playing for a couple of years so he knows the routine. Maybe I wasn't lying when I was pregnant with him and he used to kick my tummy so hard that I told the girls "we have a little soccer player in here!" Maybe it's his hair that feathers perfectly when it's sweaty from his running around the field - just the way a soccer player's hair should feather and if we cut it, his soccer magic will be gone. Whatever it is, this kid LOVES soccer. He runs non-stop. He feeds off of his adoring crowd. He relishes that he gets to drink Gatorade after his game. He loves his cleats and shin guards and jersey. Soccer is over for now, but he'll be back. Don't worry adoring crowd, he'll be back...

Cutest soccer man ever! Someday when he's famous we'll get to say we knew him way back when he was knee high to a grasshopper (okay, that was weird and I have no idea why I just wrote it, but it's staying anyway)
