We thought we were done after the triplets.
Years of fertility treatments and a very complicated pregnancy had me convinced that we would not be able to have any more.
What I did not realize was that we could not possibly be done because we did not have a Youngest.
The baby of the family who thinks he is much older than he is.
Who dresses like he’s part of the team.
Shakes things up with the big kids.
Scores goals long after they’ve all melted down
and shows his two year-old side until he gets an award too,
even if it looks suspiciously like a manila envelope.

That is too adorable!! I remember taking my son to my husband’s baseball games and he thought he was a part of the team. Ok, he was like the cutest mascot ever.

He’s adorable!! Isn’t it funny how the youngest just seem to tag right along and keep up!

My youngest is just like your son. He is 2 & wants to be on the soccer field playing just like his big brother. Very cute picture.
Jayme says
He’s awesome!
His award is way better than anyone else’s. In fact, he could put all of theirs inside LOL
Jessica says
They actually were inside ๐ as soon as he started throwing a fit I gave him the first thing that was remotely the same size as their certificates.
XLMIC says
I love this! So so true about the youngest, isn’t it? So glad you got yours ๐
Runnermom-jen says
Oh so sweet! I’m glad you got your “youngest”. ๐
Mike says
Thank you for sharing such a special time! Soccer is such a global sport, with no boundries and open to anyone that can move a ball with their feet. This was just great!
Jessica says
Thanks for stopping by to read Mike, we are definitely a soccer family!
Kate says
Ah the youngest! They are definitely worth having, though my littlest brother is 18 & driving me nuts right now! ๐
Megan (Best of Fates) says
That is an adorable, adorable award.
It’s clearly well deserved.
Kimberly says
Oh my gosh, he’s adorable! How cute that he wants to be a part of the big kids!
Jessica says
You can\’t tell him any different. He definitely thinks he is one of the big kids.
Alexandra says
Beautiful slice of life.
Shell says

That’s how I felt after The Twins. We were blessed for sure, but we didn’t have a Small One. Now we do. Bliss.
Gorgeous, gorgeous pics.
Sherri says
I loved this pic of him holding up the envelope! So cute, he’s just in there with everyone else.
Lisa says
Adorable. ๐
Jessica says
He is so cute out there on the soccer field. Of course you had to have one more.
Mama Apples says
He is precious! His award was bigger!
Mommy's Paradise says
This is making me laugh. He’s so sweet. And of course, it’s his ‘job’ to do all the things the ‘big’ kids do. Have fun and enjoy the time and before you can count to three, he’s really doing all these things.
Jessica says
I know, with him being the youngest I REALLY want it to go by slowly.
Evonne says
He is so cute! I remember when my son would do those things when his older sister played. Now that he plays too, I love to watch other little ones trying to kick the ball around.
Elena @NaynaDub says
He is just so adorable. He must love chasing after everyone and imitating them. Tweet me where you guys do soccer. I haven’t done it yet for Lanagan – but I should do something. Do they have it in the fall as well? Can he just play on your kids team so that we can talk on the sidelines?
Jessica says
Yes and yes, starts in August, I\’ll email you with the details.
Barbara says
He looks like such a little man! He is too adorable! I love all the pictures, especially how proud he is of his “manila envelope” certificate!
Kmama says
That is so cute!! Buster is often found in the outfield during Buddy’s games. No matter how many times I tell him he can’t go out there, he insists he’s playing too.
By Word of Mouth Musings says
Since his is unique, in his mind that makes his the most special – cute and smart too ๐
Not a Perfect Mom says
envelope schmenvelope…to him it’s perfect!
Jessica says
I know, you could not tell him that envelope wasn\’t an award. I also was not allowed to talk to him, I think he thought I may blow his cover and tell people he was only 2.
