Even though it’s Ramadan and Ben likes to conserve his energy on weekends, I dragged him to Aliya and Adlani’s soccer games yesterday so he could see what he needs to work on with them. He spent his youth playing soccer daily and it’s a crime if he doesn’t pass those skills on to the kids. It was Adlani’s first game with the new U6 (Under 6) Fireballs. He has Aliya’s coach from last year and is on the same team with Griffin and Noah. I’m hoping that he eventually catches on, but I think there’s a good chance he will end up in the marching band. Aliya played goalie and due to the skills of the Absolutes she had plenty of time for hair-twirling and wedgie-picking, and they remain undefeated after 2 games. Hopefully Ben will be taking full advantage of the official soccer net in our next-door neighbors’ yard to get some extra practice in over the next few weeks.
