Like A Leopard

We stopped at Shopko tonight to see if we could find Tyke a pair of cleats.  T-ball starts tomorrow and we have procrastinated on buying new shoes and shorts (the kid lives in jeans and cowboy boots).  The selection was slim in the shoe department.  I found a pair of gym shoes that were on clearance.  We had Tyke try them on and he loved them.  He ran back and forth and excitedly exclaimed, "these make me fast like a leopard!"  Unfortunately, we made him put them back because they had zero traction and we dealt with that issue last soccer season.  Zero traction equals Tyke on the ground more than he's not.  We found one last pair of cleats in Tyke's size.  By the way, he's a size ONE now!  We tried the cleats on, Tyke ran around, and told us they weren't fast enough so he didn't want them.  But, they were cleats and on sale so they're what we bought.  Silly boy, thinks the shoes are what makes him fast.  We can't wait to watch Roni play ball tomorrow!
