Cameron Antonio Mennsfield: My Little Champion

I'm sad to say that Cameron's 2nd season of soccer is officially over. I am thrilled to say though that this season was 100% better than the first one last spring, and his team won every game! The first time around it was such a learning expereince for the entire team who had never played before, and this time around Cameron was a seasoned pro! He was so enthusiatic to get out there and score, and I have never been so proud as a parent with his attitude. (Granted...I pray that God gives me many more moments to be proud of my sweet boy, but I am blessed to already have these proud moments!) Now I know that the kids on the team ranged from 3- 4 years of age, and kids at this age can be very emotional. There were kids out there crying when they got knocked over, crying because the didn't want to play, crying because they couldn't get the ball to score a goal. You name it, there was a kid crying over it. Thankfully...that was never Cameron. When he got tripped up, he got right back up and kept on running to get that ball. When others were crying because they didn't want to play, Cameron was ready to get out on that field and score. If the other team (or his own teammate) had the ball, Cameron would run at warp speed to take that ball away and score, but if someone else happened to score, Cameron would happily skip back to the center of the field and was ready to try again. Now, I know he gets his love and talent for sports from his Daddy, but I'm pretty sure he also gets this attitude from him too. I'm totally a sore loser when it comes to any sort of competition and when things aren't going my way with a game, I'm ready to give up. ;) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Cameron doesn't one day wake up with my winning attitude...ha!

Here he is with his medal and his team...
