Trumania

Truman plays on Lincoln's soccer team (so against kids 1.5 to
2 years older than him) and, frankly, dominates. There are six boys on the team
and Truman is easily the most aggressive of the bunch. Our soccer team is the
best in the league and Truman plays a pretty mean game of soccer (literally) and
is probably the 2nd or 3rd best on the team in terms of goals scored and game
awareness (behind Lincoln). If the other team is pushing and shoving (which
happens a lot in these games) Truman is the first one of our team to start
fighting back a bit. One time an "over-excitable" kid on the other team was
pulling jersey's and shorts because he thought it was funny; about 3/4 through
the game Truman had enough and straight out tackled the kid. Brian did not cheer
out loud when he tackled him. That's the time in life you say "Truman, don't
tackle" and then as he is walking off the field give him a real big high five.
We beat them by at least 5 goals in a 16 minute game. He is obsessed with
anything that resembles a sport (ie includes a ball). He made his first basket
on a regulation size hoop a few weeks ago at age 3 and 10 months; a feat his
older brother is yet to do. He is now 3 for about 849.
