Soccer Tots

our little soccer cutie
Sean has been playing soccer for about a month now. I really think he would do much better actually playing a soccer game on a field. This is a class with younger children than him and it's held in a hockey rink which I hate. It's so hard to get pictures. They did have a photographer come in to take some action shots and we are waiting to get those. Sean is great at kicking and running with the ball, but does not like the organized class at all. He does much better when Kenny is there, but tonight it was just me and we had a tough time getting him to listen (myself and Coach Danielle). I know next Monday will be much better!

It Blew

Today started out as a typical Monday for us. Sean had school and had another really great day. He is very tight lipped this year about school, though. He won't tell me who is in his class or what they do. I read the reports every day and ask questions, but he seems like he is already 16 and not interested in talking to mom :(. Kenny did remind me that it is only his 3rd day, so that maybe he'll open up later. I just love talking with my little guy.

After school, he refused a nap and then we went to soccer. Again, Sean did really well with the other kids, but definitely has a mind of his own. He wanted to do what he wanted to on the soccer rink (yes, they play on an ice hockey rink!).

After soccer, I headed to a Bunco night while Kenny was taking Sean home. On the way, I heard a pop and the car swerved. Thank God, Sean was with Kenny. Kenny and Sean came to my rescue and Sean kept saying, "the tire blew, mommy?" and he wanted so badly to watch Kenny change the tire, but since we were on a busy road, he had to stay in his seat. I went on to Bunco and Kenny and Sean came home where Sean promptly told Kenny that he was tired and fell asleep. Yep, Sean....it blew that mommy now has to get a new tire! I know that you'll like going to the tire store, though.

The Park And Soccer

he still wanted to be on the baby swing

When I told Sean that we could go to the park today, he told me that he was going to share and not push anyone. Poor kid, we're all 3 working so hard to help him get out of the terrible 3's. He did great! He asked a little girl if she wanted to play with his bulldozer and kept his hands to himself. Yeah, Sean.

Even though, I know he was tired, he didn't take a nap and then we had to go to soccer. This was the second time that one of the coaches told us that he was doing really well. It was a very active day and he finally fell asleep at 8:30.

Little Pele

Sean got a haircut today since school starts next in a couple of weeks. I had been putting it off, b/c I like his hair long, but I have to admit that he looks so cute. He kept saying that he didn't want to go, but he did great (no tears) and got to pick out a truck at Target.

This evening, Sean started SoccerTots and had a great time. He really is quite good.
