Fearless

2nd from the left!

Oh we had a great day today. Little one played in a soccer carnival, to celebrate the end of the soccer season. 4 intense games over 4 hours... he was fearless!

Leaving a trail of destruction in his wake... that was a goal!

When not scoring goals (secretly bursting with pride I was) he was mostly taking spectacular, melodramatic tumbles... putting his well rehearsed Italian soccer skills to good use.

Yes, down for the count again, the one down on the left, in spectacular fashion.

Yep, in most photos I took, he was on the ground clutching at some injury. He was carried off, injured, by a lovely Dad in the 3rd match, screaming, "he chipped my bone, I'm sure he chipped my knee bone"..... after a few hugs and kisses and a bit of drink bottle water splashed on it, he ran back on, the other parents exclaiming, "gee that chipped bone healed mighty fast".

"Chipped bone" incident, 2nd from right.

He's a little bloke but he gave the big boys a run for their money, went in hard in every match..... so by 5pm he was asleep in his chicken casserole.


I had to blog about this day as I want to remember him at this gorgeous age.... forever.

Oh, A-M! Very cute. Capturing his histrionics at this age should make for some funny memories at his 21st! J x

Beautiful post and such great photos. Thanks for the emotional mummy pangs you've given me so early in the morning! He's so lovely and very brave! Rachaelxx

He is lovely. I do know what you mean about secretly bursting with pride. Sometimes, however, it escapes in an over-enthusiastic cheer that makes your husband roll his eyes at you.

Oh he is delightful... I love his claims of having a chipped bone that's a classic!

Have a gorgeous weekend! x
