Singing and Soccer

Because I'm so behind on posts, I've decided to do a post about what Carter was up to during the spring, summer, and fall of the year 2021. The last post had some things from the first half of 2021, but here's the rest.

Carter was able to continue doing Soccer Buddies during the winter, but this time it was indoors. It was so fun to watch him improve! They kept it indoors during the spring as well, and here he is in May.

May also brought Carter's graduation from preschool. They did a cute little performance, and Carter was SO into it. He was having a blast and was clearly proud of himself. It was fun to see that side of him.

Here he is playing guitar on his arm, hehe.

And more singing...

And here he was at the end, all proud of himself!

That smile... 💙

Here's his whole preschool class:

And, of course, we had to get a shot of Carter with the wonderful Ms. Shelley and Ms. Kathleen!

Once summer started, we decided to switch Carter from soccer to T-ball for a change of pace. He picked it up pretty well! He was especially good at hitting.

Here is his first time learning to field:

And his first time learning to hit:

And his first game (he's playing in the pitcher position):

And his first game at-bat:

Some throwing/catching practice:

And now I'll dump a bunch of other favorite videos (I took a lot of them, haha). This first one is him fielding in the shortstop position:

And then two more hits:

Though he could have continued doing baseball in the Fall, Carter opted to return to soccer. I was actually pretty bummed, because I like baseball better and think he could be really good at it. But in the end it's his choice, not mine. *sigh* Haha.

Anyway, we felt like Carter was ready for an actual soccer league with games, so we put him in the Colorado Rapids program. Again, it was fun to watch him improve!

And, because I'm terrible, here are some funny fall videos:

This one's my favorite fall. He literally spit grass out afterwards, but I unfortunately stopped the video before that:

And here's a near goal:

And then a goal! I think Carter thought it went in but the other kid didn't and kicked it in more, but it's hard to tell from this angle/this far away. Either way, Carter did awesome!

And, finally, some action shots (And yes, I know I took too many videos and photos of Carter playing soccer... and this isn't even all of them!):

Anyway, that's all for now. I have another post for Carter coming up, but that one will be filled with cute photos and descriptions of who he is and what he likes and funny things he says and does.
