This past week Colten attended British soccer camp every day. Needless to say he LOVED it.
He has such passion for sports, and loves to take part in them. I have a feeling that he is going to keep us VERY busy in the years to come. I want the kids to have their own interests and things they enjoy doing on their own to help them figure out who they are as a person. This has always been important to me. I by no means want to force them to participate in a sport or activity they do not enjoy so as long as they enjoy it we will continue to take them. We feel very fortunate that Colten is such a sports nut (he takes after his dad). If it involves running, a ball, a bat, or a glove the kid is in!
So this past week he had soccer camp. He LOVED every second of it. Once again he was as serious as he could possibly be! He was named MVP two different days (this time by his coaches not his parents)! We could not be more proud of him. It was adorable he was MVP the first day of camp, and the second day he wanted to know why he wasn't MVP again. We explained to him how you became MVP, and he looked at us and said he would have to work harder the next day to be MVP again. We told him that even if he worked really hard he had already been MVP on the first day so he probably wouldn't get it again, and that the other kids needed a chance at it. He was okay with that. Then on Friday (the last day) they picked him as MVP again. He told me that night that he is just that good! That the other kids didn't come close! I guess it is a good thing to have confidence at this age!
Warming up the last day of camp!

Here are some action shots from camp!
Colten was on team China so naturally he had to make a flag to bring to camp the last day!

Time to get his ball signed!
