I don’t even know how I have a baby old enough who goes to school…and now goes to “after school”…where did the years go? Where do the days go?
Here’s my little man…SO STINKING excited for his first soccer practice…he HAS to wear his exercise shorts and soccer shirt…and as he sat here looking THIS cute with red and gray striped socks up to his knees suited with yellow and blue shoes…he sang, “M sexy and M know it!”…how could I NOT take a photo!!!
He did not like that his soccer shirt was covered by a scrimmage jersey…it took some coercing from Coach Jaime and I…but eventually he got back out there and ran around! This was his VERY first soccer practice and he had fun…even if he was in his own world! I don’t care…I just want him to enjoy himself and have a good time…he has plenty of time to learn the rules…right now, it’s learning to have fun, enjoy the sport and get some energy out…(how’s THAT coming from THIS competitive mama???)
Week 2…
He was missing his best buddy, Jaden…(who is in California as I type this…SO very jealous!)…but his other buddies were there and he had no problem hanging out and jumping in!
His good buddy Jack joined soccer this week…in fact, I think about 10 more kids joined soccer this week…it was a little chaotic…but he learned something between the 7 days…he knows that one whistle means foot on the ball…2 whistles means sit on the ball…3 whistles means “do what you want”…rather, go make a goal…
Still working on that “this is FOOTball” thing…not “basketball”…every so often he will just pick it up and start dribbling it…guess this boy is American after all!!!
Zachary…your mama is so proud of you! You have no fear…you are with kids you don’t know, in a school you don’t attend and you just go. You talk to new kids, you meet new teachers, you follow their rules and you do it…with a smile. A new environment is tough on any of us, but you are a little star everywhere you go…shining your bright eyes, your sweet voice and your adorable personality…there is no metaphor that explains how much I love you…
