Firsts

This past week was a big one for Rowan. He had his first day of kindergarten on Friday. I had to laugh/cringe as I watched him walk down the hall with the rest of his class. He was doing his patented hop on one leg move. He was so excited and bouncy that I couldn't help but smile, but I also felt a little worried for how he would settle down for his teacher. I didn't get to check in with her at the end of the day, so I'm just hoping he was ok.


He also had his first soccer game this weekend. Five year olds are great entertainment. Most of them didn't have a clue what was going on. The coach kept having to remind them not to use hands and which direction to go, and one kid on his team just flung himself on the ball like he was tackling it every time he got near it.




I didn't notice it when I was taking the pictures at Rowan's game, but when I went to download them I was so tickled by what a big smile he had in pretty much every picture. He was REALLY having a good time!




Grayson had his first game of the season too. His team is interesting to watch. I think they're really starting to understand the game and "get" positions and teamwork.


Grayson had been really excited about getting to be goalie, but most of the time that he was goalie he looked something like this.

I think his lack of "goaliness" irritated Fuller, and he started trying to give him some direction.





We lucked out and Fuller didn't have a game this Saturday, but starting next weekend we'll have three games to get to every Saturday. Should make things interesting.
