Futbol Friends
We took the boys to the Sono Field House on Saturday. One of Gadget’s friends from preschool plays in the Little Kickers league and we thought we’d check it out. Gadget took a class with hubby two seasons ago, and I think he could use some hand eye coordination drills. The environment was very athletic. All the kids had on their sports gear, and the parents were rooting on children from ages eighteen months and up.
I am fairly competitive, but I did hear a dad yelling to his three year-old, “Let’s see some D, Jake! Where’s your defnese?!!” I was a little taken a-back, I mean the kid is three! I don’t think I will be putting any competitive pressure on Gadget right now. I’d like for him to learn the game, meet some friends and have fun. Hopefully, he will walk away with enhanced coordination and an appreciation for team sports.
The Lion loved the field house. He ran around the mesh fence and tried to sneak into a few games. It was clean and big and fresh. I’m super excited Gadget’s friend is already in the class, so I can have real adult conversation with other moms while while the class goes on. I’ll keep you posted if we enroll Gadget.
Extended Family
The boys play grandparents came over this weekend. In fact, they come over every few weeks and we have a good ole time. This weekend we took the boys to the park, ate some Caribbean food, and then played Phase 10 while the kids napped. We had a great time and look forward to it every month. Their son went to Georgia Tech with us, but we never imagined we’d become best friends with his parents!
I was joking at work today that I hang out with seventy year-olds on the weekend, (which is not a knock at all – my dad is quickly approaching that number), and we truly enjoy their company. It’s hard to find other couples to fellowship with. Especially, other couples that have children and can have meaningful conversations about life, family, values, education and more! We enjoy their wisdom, their perspective and most of all their company. We feel truly supported and that is awesome.
Old Year’s Day
As I reflect upon 2009, it’s easier to use pictures, so here is 2009 in review…
