So Gavin started soccer this week. He's been looking forward to it for months, as have I. I'm hoping this will let him to expend some of his energy in a productive way. The first practice on Tuesday was really more like playtime with soccer balls than an actual soccer practice, but improvement was evident at Thursday's practice. The Gavinator is a pretty aggressive player...we'll have to try to teach him to hold back a bit. But overall, I think this will be a good thing.
On a related note, Wally has infected the household with a bit of Beckham fever. We just finished watching the LA/NY game, which unfortunately was won by NY. As of a few years ago, I never would have guessed that the first professional athlete that Gavin would recognize would be a soccer player. But, it is what it is. He's turning into a little soccer maniac.
