Week 2 - went pretty much the same as week 1 minus the tantrum. Still whiny and refused to do anything. But no screaming or yelling - maybe I should have considered that progress?
Week 3 - I, therefore, refused to take him back. Lucky for him, Poppy was in town that week. Poppy and Daddy took him and apparently it went better from what I heard.
Week 4 - Matt took him again and he did GREAT! Each week he seems to get a little closer to the group and the coach. And I mean that physically closer not mentally!
Week 5 - I took him since Daddy was asleep (which he was not happy about). But after convincing him that I would help him if Mati Claire helped me with Merritt. aka MC will get Smarties for watching Merritt in the stroller and keeping her occupied and he will get Smarties if he participates and behaves.
But he did GREAT! He prefers Daddy to take him over me - which is totally fine - except Daddy works nights and is usually not awake by the time soccer starts or if he is, he is getting ready to go to work. Guess we'll have to work on that. But he did it all for the Smarties. But why am I giving him candy for something that he really wants to do??? Beyond me.
Note to self: It takes him approximately 1 month to get acquainted with any social / team event.
He also participates in the SoccerShots program at his school - which I have been told he loves. Its similar to the TOTS program (more basketball related) that MC did when she was 4, but its soccer instruction without being on a field. It promotes coordination and just learning the basics. I probably wouldn't normally let him do that on top of Mighty Mites but its during school-time-recess (once a week), so I'm not forced to find more time for extracurricular activities. yay!!

| So cute in his first uniform! Go #16! Week 2. He was so unpleasant during the first week I never pulled the camera out to get a pic. |
 |
| Week 2: This was as close as he would get to the group/team. ha! (before his uniform socks came in) |
 |
| Doing the warm up, but was done after that! |
 |
| Week 3 or 4 - actually in the circle next to his coach! wow! Go Mattox! |
 |
| Sitting on the ball towards the right with his hands on his knees. Obviously Daddy needs to take him more often! |
 |
| Just for fun! To show you what a closet redneck he is! He had a Fire Station field trip that day, and came home to act out the part! Check out the cowboy boots. I'm cooking dinner and then I see the water spraying the kitchen window bc the "house was on fire" |
