You guys? I'm a soccer mom!


For the first hour of being a soccer mom? I may have taken 116 photos. Although we did have friends there so there are a few photos of their kids too. OK, maybe one friend and one kid, but still! Get ready for some adorable photos of a little boy in a way too big uniform!


Ladies and Gentlemen, please say hello to the swarm! (You know, where every kid swarms the ball and chases it wherever it goes?)


Grandma came with too, she was extremely helpful in keeping Rory entertained. They had lots of fun at the playground!


And don't forget shoulder rides!


At the very end everyone crowded together for a group shot.


My boy, he was not very amused.


To be honest, Max was a bit difficult and was not happy following all the instructions. We had to explain that he wasn't going to be running back and forth for long, that it was just a way to warm up before they started playing with the balls. And while I wasn't nearby to hear the conversation once the balls came out, I'm pretty sure he was arguing with his helper that he could touch the soccer ball with his hands to stop it instead of using his feet.

I think this will be really good for him for the next couple months. He'll have to learn to listen in a very energetic environment while he'll also get to run and run and run. And he's playing with children from his age up until age 7, making him be one of the youngest when he's used to being the oldest. Good thing we have a soccer ball at home that we can practice on. We need to teach him how to get in there and go after that ball!

And yes, narrowing down 116 photos to just 7 is terribly hard.
