This fall one of my lovely children finally decided to participate in organized sports, much to my chagrin! Adding chaos on top of craziness to my already overloaded schedule. Before now, neither he, nor either of the girls, never really wanted to do much of anything. And secretly, I was quite happy with that. (But it's not all about me now is it.)
Aaaahhhh, but I digress.
He is enjoying it and that is what is most important. He's even getting to play on a team with one of his best friends from school. So a plus all around.
They have been having practice the last couple of weeks about 2 nights a week and then Saturday morning so not a bad schedule at all. Now, the games are like one or two a week, still a good schedule.
Last night was his first game and he was very excited. He did great almost scoring a goal and playing the part of goal sweeper, kicking the ball out of the goal quite a few times. He seems quite good so maybe he's found his sports calling. Either way, he's having fun and that's all matters. They did win 8-4 so he was very happy about that (and secretly so was I!)
