Young Love

So first we will start by adding a couple to meet the cast: THE SPIVEYS

Kristy Spivey is a nurse with Gretchen and I tease them that they have become the new Shannon and Meaghan. Because Shannon and I spend a lot of time together, but Gretch and Kristy lately have been attached at the hip. Kristy is married to James (but everyone calls him Spivey- turns out last names are a common nickname in the Army) and they have a four year old named Kaiden. This blog not only introduces you to the Spiveys but it also tells a little tale of Kaiden and a young girl named Bailey.



So Kaiden has started soccer. He is doing workshops after school were he is now learning the fundamentals of soccer. So him and his parents go to a field with a bunch of other kids and parents and kick the ball back and forth, try to get the ball between cones, and do other things that make this four year old excel at the sport. Kristy invited me to come and watch because she told me "in my unbiased opinion, he is really really good." So Gretch, Josh, and I go there and after a four year old meltdown and Kaiden saying that he didn't want to play anymore, he did show us some futball skills after I volunteered Josh to play soccer with him.



So they do the drills for thirty minutes and then the next thirty minutes are spent playing games, i.e Red Light, Green Light, and Duck Duck Goose. Well, his parents, Josh, Gretch, and I are watching from the field and he keeps falling down. He is trying to make it look like he is accidentally losing his footing but there is no doubt that he is purposely falling down. But we then realize that as sure as he is falling down numerous times, each time a cute lil blond hair girl named Bailey is helping him up. So he is falling down to have her help him up... I was amazed that this kid could woo a girl so well at a young age... but it does not end there.




So all the kids are lined up and we notice Kaiden is not lined up with the other kids but a little bit back in the field picking flowers and sure enough he then goes and gives the girl the flowers. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen... but it does not end there.




Then they are lined up waiting for Red Light, Green Light to begin again and sure enough, Kaiden pulls out this move!!!



I guess it ended by Bailey's parents coming up to the Spiveys and saying we have to be careful because Bailey really likes boys... which is obviously a problem since Kaiden has more game than Milton Bradley :)
