Soccer

We are now soccer parents. After I decided to withdraw Kallon from pre-k I thought he needed some sort of organized activity. I was all ready to get him signed up for swimming lessons when I received a phone call from a local soccer organization. Kallon was so excited when I told him about it. That same night we went out and bought a ball, socks, and shin guards. He has had a few team practices and one game so far. Let me tell you it is about the funniest thing I have ever seen. The kids play three on three and switch out players every time a goal is made and there is no goalie. Three kids from our team line up in the middle of the field facing their goal and three of the other team facing the opposite way and when the whistle blows its mass confusion. All six players are on top of one another pulling on each others jerseys with feet flying every where...so funny. Kallon did so good but wore out quickly. I don't blame him it was very hot and humid that day. He had one assist and got to throw the ball in many times. After a while he became frustrated that he couldn't get the ball away from the purple team and was a little pouty the rest of the game, but he still had fun. Its all about having fun, getting some exercise, and team work. He is already gearing up for the next game. Kallon's team has green jerseys and the kids decided on being called the grasshoppers, haha. I am so glad we have found something that he is really enjoying. He has also been learning a little piano when I can get him to focus. He loves it, and is doing quite well, he is flying through the lessons. I am so proud of him. Its so fun to be able to watch him grow and learn new things.I am so grateful I have been given the opportunity to be his mom, what a blessing he is in our home. My baby is growing up way too fast.




Do I have to get my picture taken?

How fun! I need to get Kyle in something too. Kyle's in my lap and he said he wanted to watch Kallon. I said he looked cool in his jersey and Kyle said, "Looks cute." hahaha. Don't you think Tim would've loved to hear him say that?
