It's already time for next season soccer sign-ups, and well I'm just now blogging about Orin's last season, which was his first time playing an organized sport.
He just barely made the cut off (by a day), so he was pretty young on the team (and I needed to remember that... the kid had just turned four).
I realized that I was totally being one of those crazy mom's screaming at their kid on the sidelines. Not even to score, but just to pay attention and listen, oh and to not tackle the kids (our kids on the team kept doing that, wrong sport little boys)!
Orin's first game was hilarious! He was so loving all of us yelling his name and cheering for him. When the other time scored, he was so bugged (see pic below).
Shawn and volunteered to be the Team Mom, I team manager, so that meant that we, I mean I, got to do the team banner.
I had no clue what to do. I used felt and after a little sewing, lots of cutting and fabric glue I came up with this...
I thought it wasn't bad for my first soccer banner. There was an AYSO soccer banner contest, and I thought I had a chance. Nope.
Didn't even get second or third in the five year old category! Aaarrrr!
