I pulled out the kiddy pool for the kids one afternoon this week as it felt extra warm.... The water was chilly, but oh so fun to splash around....
We also at the last minute decided to put Aaron on a spring soccer team. I had been a bit apprehensive to try soccer this spring with Lee being down - the last soccer experience was a bit rough for Aaron and we really wanted to be certain that the next time around, he would really be able to have fun and develop a joy for sports. Sports really are just really something Lee and I value for so many reasons and though we don't want to force our kids into being athletes, we know they can learn discipline, leadership, camaraderie, and so many other other things by participating....
Anyway, I digress..... We found out one of our friends was coaching and the team also happened to have some of Aaron's friends on it both from school and church - And his friends have parents that we like too. =) We figured this could be the good experience we were looking for and so we were able to get Aaron on..... After his first week of practice and games, we are already soooo glad we did, as Aaron has had a total blast.
Aaron with some of his teammates/buddies....
Coach Andrew giving instructions to Team Fried Bacon (yes, that is there team name - the kids think it's hilarious and even have a crazy cheer for it I will have to capture at some point) He does a good job with the kids and I have already appreciated what he is doing for Aaron....
Aaron is the handsome #3....
No goals yet for this little guy, but he did have a great assist in which he dribbled the ball all the way down the field and passed it to his teammate Shaylee who scored a goal. Okay so "pass" may be stretching it - I think she just outran him to the ball but we were so proud! After the game, Aaron asked why it was so short and if we could play some more when we got home. It brought Lee and I so much joy to see him have so much fun and enter this stage of parenthood.
Happy Spring!
