Soccer!

Today was the Bub's first day of soccer class.  I'm not sure who was more excited, me or him, but it doesn't really matter.  The class is a "parent and child" one, so it will be a Saturday morning bonding experience for Mama and Bub.  I will get some much-needed time off, but I had to attend today to check it out (and to get pictures!) and because I knew it would be cute and funny to see a outdoor class full of 2-year-olds.  How does a coach herd cats? The answer, I discovered, is they don't. For the duration of class, tots would take off across the field then get chased down and brought back by a parent. One kid lay down on top of the net. Another collected the hoops that were intended to mark a running track.  One carried her "home base" rubber mat with her everywhere she went.  I am proud to say that Sasha was very well-behaved, listening to the coach and excited to participate.  He still doesn't understand the waiting in line thing, but whatever-- I hate it, too, and I've had a few decades to get used to it.

Bonus: the t-shirts provided are purple! With a logo in distressed yellow to satisfy the most discerning fashionista.

The weather was cooperative, too.  One of the only nice days we've had so far this year. Get here soon, summer.
