Soccer Surprises

Son1 has been talking up soccer, and takes note when he sees soccer practices or games. Son1 really hit the I-wanna-play-soccer button recently. Hubby took him out for some one on one soccer for the first time. Sure, we have played kick the ball back and forth, but never any serious footwork. And kicking the ball back and forth with me is one thing. Playing with his dad is a whole other story. Hubby used to coach high school soccer. He played on adult leagues, and was selected to start on the War College Varsity Team in 2003. So when Hubby came home and said Son1 showed some potential, I listened.He is almost old enough to play on a team. We hope his interest holds up. If not, there is always chess.

Playing Chess

Some of the men were playing chess at the birthday party for Jesus. Son1 calls them the "Big Friends." After they left, Son1 pulled out the pieces again, and the chess clock. Daddy sat and explained how to play. Son1 is good for about the first three moves.
