Super Star Sean

So soccer has started! We started September 8th, which was also my Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday again Dad!! September 8th was skills day. There were about 130 kids out on the field they put the kids in groups of 8 and had them doing different drills to see where to place each kid and on which team. Skills day went well. Colin seemed to enjoy it also he can actually dribble the soccer ball pretty well. I tried getting him on the team because I noticed some other 2 year olds on the team had I known I would've signed him up. But, it was to late when I called to put Colin on with Sean. Anyways, we showed up for the first practice on Wednesday night and Sean was put on the 2,3,4 year olds gold team. Sean had his very first soccer game this morning. Well the game started off a little slow in the very beginning he was playing with the string on his shorts and his attention just wasn't on the game. He came off the field to get a sip of water and I said to him, Sean you have to go after the ball, ya know gave him a little pep talk! He got back out there and me being that crazy, obnoxious Mom on the sideline, I was screaming to him and cheering him on. He got back out there on offense and ended up scoring 2 goals before the 2nd half! I was very impressed to say the least and so excited! The 2nd half just had started and Sean scored his 3rd goal. Immediately after Sean's coach grabbed him and us and said we're going to put Sean with the 5 year olds for the 2nd half. We're glad he's doing so well but the other kids don't stand a chance with Sean on the field. So we happily gathered our stuff and moved to the 5 year olds field. Sean got right back in the game to score his 4th and final goal! I was thrilled with his performance and it was one of those sentimental days for me where I thought to myself wow he's really not a baby at all anymore he looked like such a big kid on that field today. Even though he is only 4 years old I thought to myself it feels like yesterday he was just Paulie's age and those 4 years went by to fast. It was almost a sigh of relief for me to think wow he's going to be such a great little boy and he's going to be great at anything he does. It was the best feeling in the world to watch him excel out there today. He was having so much fun and I could tell how happy he was with himself. At that point I felt so lucky and proud to have such great and talented little boys. As much as I complain about not having a daughter I must say I am really, really enjoying my boys right now. Today I felt like Im not missing out on anything by not having a daughter. I'm super excited and really looking forward to watching them with their sports and seeing them grow into young men. Lately I've been hearing more and more horror stories about different things that happen to people that seem to have the perfect lives and i've slowly been learning not to complain about what I don't have but appreciate what I do have, which is 3 beautiful little boys.
