I'm a Soccer Grandma Now! (Cue from Amanda's blog)

To be honest, I wasn't into athletics growing up - I did do track one year of high school but got kicked off the team (another story for another time). I guess our kids inherited the "no sports" gene from me, but not our grandsons. They have both been in love with any kind of round objects since about 6 weeks old I think! At his first Christmas, Casen took my cool "creativity" gift of Tadoodles and immediately started throwing them. This event dashed my dreams of spending hours being creative with my grandson, but I did notice a sparkle in Bunny's eye!

I've got the sparkle in my eye now too! I am loving getting to watch him and his little team practice and play their games. They are only 3 but they are so cute - their short little legs running, their stop in their tracks wonderment when they connect with the ball, getting distracted by anything that crosses their line of sight and their playing nice with each other. Good times!
