Well had a really good day today. Stayed faithful to the Atkins. Blake, Olivia and I played outside while mom did some straightening up in the house.
Blake and I worked on catching and throwing today. He is making some nice progress and said he is having fun playing catch with old dad!
Des, I know I will catch flak for this, but Blake is not into soccer and I am glad of it. I know that your dd plays and I think it is a great sport for kids, but dw and I don't want to overload him. We want him busy, but not too loaded up. He plays basketball, baseball and this fall he expressed interest in flag football. I have a couple of beefs with soccer. One, they play year round. Summer soccer, fall soccer, indoor soccer, spring soccer. To me it is a little much. Two, I just don't like it. We never discouraged Blake from playing, but then again, we never encouraged him either. He has friends who play, but he has never once asked to play or anything. If he wanted to play, we would discuss it. My wifes nephew actually got a college scholarship in the sport, but we just feel he should only do one thing at a time, and his schedule is full.
Des, I didn't mean to flame about soccer, I know lots of people love it and I really have nothing against it other than it is not my cup of tea, but to each their own.
Gotta run!
