The second we got there he jumped right in with his soccer ball - running, dribbling, shooting. Then he announces, "I think I'd like to be on a soccer team." (Keep in mind that I have asked him time and time again if he'd want to be signed up for any team sport AND this is the boy that we can't get to throw, kick or even look at a ball to save his life).
Luckily the league coordinator was there and was kind enough to let Aidan play with Maddie's team "The Doodlebops" today and said he could be signed up for the rest of the season.
Maddie was her usual athletic self and was so proud when she heard one of the other Mom's commenting on how good she was. And let's not forget her fabulous white and green hair braids courtesy of our visit to Stylin' Kids. She oozed team spirit!
Aidan was utterly impressive with how quickly he jumped in, paid attention and kept up with everyone. One slight moment of distress when another boy was hurt and crying - but he hid in the goal for maybe 5 seconds and then was right back at it. And it turns out that 4 out of the 10 kids on their team are from his classroom(s).
Quick trip to Sports Authority to get gear for Aidan and add in a celebratory trip to the 99 (it is mildly embarassing how well they know us there, but also quite adorable that M&A have bonded with the staff and couldn't wait to tell Patrice and their other favorite servers about the game) and we had an excellent day!
