It is official- I am a Soccer Mom

The evidence: 1 brand new soccer ball, 1 set of shin guards, 1 pair of soccer socks, and 1 black bag to put them all in. And, of course, the check for registration and the above "optional" items that are really a requirement.

Bug is officially registered for soccer- 6 weeks of practice and games on Thursday evenings. Yep- I am a soccer mom.

For Popi and Family- "soccer mom" is a term used in the US media to describe a particular demographic of women- it describes how the vote, what their priorities are and how they react to situations. As usual, though, the media placed a label that actually does not fit most of the people they lump into the category.

But in any case- Bug got to go out on the field - it is an indoor soccer field. he was fine running around with me, kicking the ball but when we stopped to stay hi to his coach - Miss Rose, he completely clammed up. he informed me on the way home that he was not playing soccer. We'll see how it goes next week when Y joins us for our first practice/game.

Love and hugs,
Deb

  1. hey Deb,
    Just to let you know, Elijah did soccer for 1 practice/game, then 1/2 practice/no game, then none! He didnt like it with all the kids coming at him, He had just turned 5. Now at 6 he is talking about soccer again, so we'll see . Arianna loved it, Elijah not so much, but we still tried for a few weeks after he gave up, but decided tears when he saw the shirt really meant he was done! Good luck- its so cute watching the little guys play!
