Liam's First Soccer Game

When Liam started school this year he told me that he wanted to play soccer. Imagine my pleasant surprise when my son told me he was interested in something that did not involve tractors. So, we signed him up and practiced started last week. Well, basically I paid 25 bucks so that my kid can pick dandelions and watch the ball as it goes by. He actually has a really strong and accurate kick, however, there is one little problem. My son being just a little OCD likes to have everything just so. As long as the ball is situated just right he has no problem kicking the ball. So, you can see how this is a problem seeing as it's SOCCER and the ball is in constant motion. I know this is all very new to him, but I don't know how many more times I have to explain that he has to run AND kick the ball at the same time. The most important thing is he had fun and we got quite a laugh watching all those little guys running after the ball. I was also relieved that I wasn't the only parent that spent 25 bucks to watch their kids pick flowers. It was actually about half and half. Half the kids seemed to have an idea of what to do and the others well, let's just say they're learning. We ended up winning 2-1.

That's My Boy!!

Well, Liam is on a roll. First, he got stuck in the laundry basket on Sunday. I was doing laundry and had all the clothes and baskets out. Of course Liam was goofing off (I know hard to imagine) and he decided to have a seat in his laundry basket. I didn't see him and I kept calling him to come in my room and he never came. Then I heard him asking for help. I came out and this is what I found.

At first I thought, "Oh, he's just playing, he's not really stuck!" He was. I had to lift the basket and turn him upside down to get him out. Next, (this is good) he took a shower in my shower last night. It's kind of a privelage to take a shower in "mom's shower". Well he finished and got dressed and I was so proud of him for cleaning up, getting dressed, the whole sha-bang all by himself. This morning I got in the shower and noticed that there was a lot of hair on my razor and I thought it was strange because Will wouldn't use it but hey ya' never know. So, I didn't really think too much about it and completely forgot that Liam had been in there...until I saw his head. Yeah, that's right, he has a lovely little bald patch right in the middle of his head. Isn't it amazing how those razors just accidentally land on your head like that? At least he still has his eyebrows!!
