I'm officially a soccer mom!

Okay, so maybe it's not official, but Brooks is playing his first season of soccer! It's a parent-tot program, so us moms (and a few dads) play with them. There are no games, just playing and learning the game, so we get to learn with them. He likes it so far and plays about as good as any other 3yr old. The kids are hilarious to watch and I'm sure its even funnier to watch us moms out there running after our kids and the ball! They play games like drive the "car", sharks and minnows and popcorn. Brooks' fav is the popcorn game. He hands me the ball and I shout "POP" and he runs after it and kicks it back to me. He's not been to fond of Sharks and Minnows (which was the monster game last week, but the name was changed bc some kids cried bc they were scared of the monster...Brooks was terrified ha!), but he felt better about it after he and his friends got to take turns being the shark. He loves playing so far, but who's to say he will want to follow in his cousin Anna's footsteps. She's already committed to Campbell University and will have almost a full ride...I can only dream of this for Brooks! We will continue with soccer for now, but if he changes his mind and wants to play football, well I won't stop him! Maybe my original dream of him becoming the next Peyton Manning (ok, let's face it, he's probably gonna be too short to play QB), or any other position in the NFL will come true. Dare to dream...we might not even have the NFL by then, but thats a whole other blog!
