c and i are taking turns hauling scout around to his practices,
with c doing the majority of it. fortunately, the riptide team
practices right across from his school so it makes it easy for c.
finn does his homework, c makes calls for work and scout plays.
{i'm in charge of getting him to wednesday practice by the house}
we missed his very first rec game because we were in utah,
so last weekend was his first game with the silver bullets,
PYSL's U8 {under eight} rec team. he was so excited!!
we hardly recognized our son on the field.
instead of playing defense like he preferred for all those years,
coach has him playing midfield and forward, positions he rarely
wanted to play in year's past.
something just clicked for him...and he's got a better understanding
of the game and his body and he is very confident on the field.
he's having more fun, and the family is having more fun watching
him now that he's in the thick of the action.
they lost. in the middle 'tunnel' photo above, his face shows his disappointment.
in the far right photo, he sees me taking photo and flashes me a smile. awww.
a year ago, he would have been in tears after a loss and couldn't have smiled at
me if he wanted to.
~ on the way home, i couldn't stop thinking about how much our baby boy has
grown up in the last year. i blinked and he's a big boy now.
{dang, i better stop blinking}
