I kinda had this idea before I became a parent - and perhaps before I became a parent of a full fledged person rather than a baby - that I would never become a soccer mom. I think I am still fairly committed to this in terms of the "we live for soccer" mentality (but what do I know?).
However, we have developed some new friends who happen to be soccer people, and Soren's new "best friend" has a mother who has offered to coach a soccer camp for 4-5 year olds once a week in June. It is pretty much all the 4-5 year old's from our church, and I am SO glad Soren gets to participate and spend more time with such great kids. He has had two weeks so far and seems to be getting the hang of it. I am excited for him, and now he has informed me that he is ready for real school next. Ha! We shall see what develops there.

What a little man!
I hate to tell you this, but the mini-van doesn't help to dispel the whole "soccer mom" persona. ;-) Cute pictures, and what a great group of kids.
Ha, ha! I was trying to think of who from church might be teaching a soccer camp, and I clicked on the picture to see if I recognized the person. That's who I thought of!
Leah - I know, he's amazing! (no bias here at all).
Kari - Wicked insight =) I should mention we are only BORROWING (very very gratefully) the mini-van and do not actually OWN a minivan....though I have, regrettably, found the sliding doors to be quite convenient.
Melanie - Yep, and she is doing a really great job with the kids. I am ever grateful that my son is equally unruly as her own daughter! =) They are the youngest kids of the group, "best friends", and perhaps not quite ready for 45 minutes of perfect attention. Truly, though, they are all doing great.
