~My Cole-e-berto~

~If you want your heart to go pitter-patter, than you just need to spend a few minutes with my Cole-e-berto! This is one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet. He has the kindest heart of any boy I have ever seen. Cole had a great time playing on the Stuttgart Blue Knights team this year~


~Steve unfortunately, was not able to be Cole's team coach this year, which was a little hard for Cole... but we were very impressed to see how much he has improved from last year. The biggest difference was that the kids were no longer able to just run with the ball and make shots. This time they were actually called for traveling... so they had to dribble the ball non-stop - which takes a lot of coordination for these little kids.. but they did awesome!~


~The coach was getting confused because he kept telling Cole that he needed to pick a dribbling hand.. which is going to keep confusing coaches for many more years... Cole actually does sports all with his left hand.. but everything else in life he does with his right hand.. I think that this will one day be a good thing..I think we definitely have a switch hitter on our hands!~


~I love to take Cole to the little center of our tiny village where he catches the big tour bus for school. Every day he sits in the seat where I can see him, and before they drive away.. he puts up his "I love you" with his fingers and gives me the secret code - 3 blinks with his eyes.. this is our little secret.. "I love you" for each blink... I love this little guy with all of my heart. He has been my life saver while Steve has been away.. and taken on a lot of his dad's responsibilities around the house. The one he has taken the most seriously is giving me some giant hugs before he goes to bed. He gives me two.. one from him and one from Steve.. my heart just melts every night~
