It's official.We finally got Edward signed up for soccer in the fall.
We've entered a new stage in our family's life: we're officially "soccer parents." Well, not officially until it actually starts in the Autumn.
Hmmm.... I'm not sure about the title yet. I've resisted it for so long...and we still don't have the minivan...and I'm not quite middle-aged yet....
Edward has wanted to play soccer for a long time -- but not on a team. We're not sure how he'd play without teammates. (As someone once pointed out, that's called "golf.") Hence, we didn't sign him up sooner. Emily tried to talk him into ballet....
He's really matured this year and come "out of himself" (he's a bit introverted) by attending a homeschool co-op and AWANA club. So we think this will be a great next addition for him.
He was hesitant when I told him about going to sign up.
But after he handed in the paperwork and money and heard that he'd need cleats, shin guards, soccer shorts, etc., he walked out with us, "beaming" Edward-style -- mostly inside.
