Soccer Time!

Soccer season is upon us again. The boys are both so excited to be playing this year, they have been talking about it for days! After a hectic search through the house to find socks, shin guards, cleats and soccer balls (I am determined to be better organized next time) we made a mad dash to the field. The nice thing about small town living is that we live all of two minutes away.

M ompletely took me by surprise! He dribbled, he hustled, he took the ball away from his opponent. He was super soccer player extraordinaire! My mouth hung open in shock. Is this the same boy who last year danced and sang his way across the field and avoided contact with the ball at all costs? M's got game!

And N has talked a big game up until this point but when field time is actually required would rather sit on my lap, eat his snack, go get a drink or whine. Last night he ran drills and he dribbled and he didn't whine, complain or bemoan his fate once!

It was so much fun to watch them play. My mommy heart swelled with pride. They are both getting so big and changing so fast, sometimes I feel like I can't keep up! I know this time in our lives is going to fly by and I just want to capture it and them and hold them close. I hope they always know how much I love them!
