Soccer mom
September 5, 2008 – 10:06 pmYesterday was J’s 1st practice. It didn’t go well, in my eyes anyhow. J has never played competitive sports. Most of the boys started last year as CYO starts in 3rd grade, J had no clue. I stayed, with the girls, for the entire 2 hour practice. Yeah, that won’t be happening too often. Thankfully babyM fell asleep for a portion of it in the Ergo. Lilmiss didn’t nap all day so you can imagine just how much fun she was *rolls eyes*.
Seemed he was more used to the idea of dodge ball and running AWAY from the ball. Not charging for it. At one point he kicked the ball to the back of the coach’s head. OY! They scrimmaged and why was my son NOT paying attention, looking off in another direction???
We got the snack list and I am the 1st orange mom. I have to bring orange slices for halftime. Why did I have a helluva time finding oranges? Lol. Costco had none. I got ‘em but they’re certainly not the most vibrant shade of orange either. Oh wells. At least I’m not drink/snack mom.
Uniforms were distributed today too. Good thing I had him pull it out of his bag as soon as he exited his class. He wasn’t too happy about my request, but shootz that ish would NOT have fit him. He is one the biggest kids in the class and the biggest one the team. So we had to go to the principal’s office and inquire about it. At first he was a bit hesitant to switch out uniforms b/c he seemed VERY busy, but the baby caught his eye and made time! WOO HOO! J got a better fitting uniform and all is well.
Here’s hoping that the first game goes just as well tomorrow.

i know all about sitting through long practices, lol. C’s practices at gymnastics are 2.5 hours long three times a week - sooo boring.
i am glad J got a good uniform and that he’s enjoying soccer.
