Soccer Season for Sean

It has been so long ago since I updated what is going on, but really, nothing is going on. The latest is Sean starting soccer. I don't know how I feel about him playing soccer yet. From the first real practice I wanted to just quit because it was just so horrific. We were late becasue there was no parking and it took 10 long minutes to go around the block to make a u-turn to get to a parking spot. The whole time we were next to the field watching people get started and I felt so horrible that we were late. Then I found what team Sean was on for THAT DAY. We went through the whole practice and Sean had a hard time paying attention because he just likes to horse around with other kids. So I had to be that mom on the sidelines yelling at Sean to pay attention. At the end of practice the coach said he just received a new list, and if your name wasn't called you would be on a new team. The problem was the coach didn't know what team we were going to be on. So just my luck, we were on a different team. The coach didn't know what team we would be on, so he was like oh, we will just add him on. But then the park district called us an told us what team we would be on. So when we went to the game and met our new team and coach, the coach asked why we weren't at practice. We were at practice, but not his practice because no one told us we would be on a different team...So the game was then horrific as well. If Sean doesn't feel comfortable he will start throwing a fit. He didn't know his coach or team mates and so he would not play. Collin was antsy so I took him to the car and fed him and let Drew convince Sean to play. But I hope practice goes a lot better on Monday and get him into the game. It took him a while to get into baseball, and now we have to go through it all with soccer now. I want him in sports to get him out of the house and play with kids and have fun and be athletic. But I just don't know if sports are for him yet. Sean is starting school this Monday, the 22nd. I know, SO LATE. But that is when the Chicago Park District starts their fall programs. So Mondays are always going to be crazy, I don't know when I am going to sleep because I work Sunday night, get off in the morning, drive Drew to work, drive Sean to school, pick up Sean, pick up Drew, and go to soccer practice and then I have work at 9:30. And in between the times maybe take 2 naps hopefully. That is if Collin will take a nap then also.

Speaking of Collin, he is so strong and wants to move around but he is not quite there yet. He can roll around and move his legs, but doesn't move his arms with his legs yet. He is a good baby like Sean was. He sleeps from 9:00 until 7:00 all the way though. He just takes less naps than Sean, since he sleeps for 10 straight hours at night. He started doing that when he was 2.5 months.

I am anxiously waiting to go down to AL in October where Drew's parents live. They have not met Collin yet. We also have a wedding to go in October that we will not bring the kids to, and that will be the first time away from Collin and Sean since Collin was born. So it will be 5 months and it will be our first date night, I can't wait.

So what else are we doing, just busy working, and the weekends are always booked with some kind of function or work. We have plans all the way through the middle of November. Isn't that crazy? I always look forward to the weekends to be with the family and do something. Next Saturday we are going to see my dad, we haven't gotten together since June. I hope it doesn't rain this time because the rain canceled our plans the last time.

That is all for now, just fun sports times ahead. I will keep it updated how the soccer season will go and if Sean will be a soccer player, or wait to put him into football maybe.
