Trash Talker

At Ryan's soccer game last weekend, a fellow soccer mom came over to compliment me on Ryan. She said "You can sure tell that he has older siblings." She cited his aggressive play, as other kids elected to pick grass and chase butterflies. His coach accurately descried him as an "intense" player. In the above picture, his team was being beaten badly. After the opposing team scored a goal, four of their players surrounded Ryan and started taunting him as seen in many 4 year-old games. And being the product of older siblings, he was unfazed. Instead of crying, he pointed to them and said "You're going down!" This bought an opposing player to tears. As a coach came to intervene, I could tell what the other side was thinking. "That kid must have older siblings!" Thanks Jordan and Kylie.......
