Soccer star maybe

Crash had a great soccer game this weekend.  Unbelievably, the child scored 4 goals in a 20 minute game!!!!!  I could hardly believe my eyes.  He responded with a slight grin as he ran back to his position.

Lest, you think he is some sort of soccer phenom- the child spent plenty of time whining in between goals saying, "I am tired" or "I want to go home" or "I am hungry".  I physically had to push him back on the field at one point because he decided he had enough.  They only play 5 minutes at a time.  I felt pretty sure he could handle it.

I remember the Test Pilot responded similarly at this age so I just need to wait it out.  He really does enjoy playing soccer, just on his terms.  If there is a snack anywhere in the vicinity of his playing field, he is so done playing and ready for a snack.

If we could get his emotional state matched with his physical abilities he would be doing great.
