Nathan has really enjoyed playing soccer. His team is the Superstars and he is just having a ball. This is the second time he got to play goalie, which is his favorite. He is not concerned with winning or losing - 'it is just about having fun mom'. I am glad he is coming out of his shell more and enjoying things for the pure enjoyment of them. He is just growing up way too fast for this mommy!
Nathan started soccer last night. He was so excited to finally be starting practices. It was REALLY hot though (triple digits!) and I thought I was going to melt. I was surprised that he is the tallest kid out there. He drank all of that water jug by the time practice was over and then we went and got a fruit smoothie after the practice. He really loved that part too. He said "That is sooo refreshing Mom!". The team still needs a team mom and can I just tell you how hard it is for me NOT to volunteer. I mean really can't someone just step up. I have to bit on my lips to keep from volunteering. I just know that I shouldn't take that on right now, especially since I don't even know if I will be at the first game.
We have been fighting the sickness cycle around here lately. Last week I caught the nasty stomach flu from Laura and ended up having to spend the night in the hospital because I was dehydrated and having contractions. SEVEN bags of fluid later and you can just call me MRS. PUFF! It was not pleasant but as soon as I thought we were in the clear with the flu Nathan and Laura have come down with colds this week. Honestly, I know it may sound bad but it is actually a good thing for me to stay at home and rest and try and keep them rested. I hope they both get better quickly so they can enjoy the last little bit of summer before school.
