I have dreams of being a Hockey Mama….maybe unrealistic dreams since the boys have yet to go ice skating. Peabody may kill me – or revoke my Canadian Citizenship. There isn’t a local place to take them. I guess I need to do more research and just expect to drive a good distance to get them some ice time. Worth it, right?
In the meantime, I am a Soccer Mama. Jakob is playing with the YMCA this summer. He is super excited and doing fantastic. I thought he would be upset when they lost their first THREE games….but his understanding of sportsmanship has gotten better with age. I remember when he tried soccer in GA and hated to lose or not score a goal….now he is able to shrug it off….even with a 7-0 score against his team.
Aiden really wants to play, but after much discussion we decided that he just wasn’t ready or able to process the team concept. But next year, he will run the field.
This past weekend was fabulous. Having his whole family, and extended family out on the sidelines cheering Jakob on was nothing short of awesome. With Mom, Ron, Tim and Nicole visiting, Jakob had his own cheer squad out there. He LOVED it.
I guess I should be glad that he is having fun, learning teamwork, and that with soccer there is no 5am cold rink time.
There will be hockey in their future though….you can count on it!

Way to go Jakob!!! Although you really should move here, hockey options (both ice and roller) abound, and he gym we go to has these great sports programs for Aidan where they get to learn skills and basics of the game in a totally fun way. Just saying..... :)
It's great that Jakob enjoys soccer and I'm sure he was thrilled to have such an attentive audience at this game. Sorry there isn't an ice rink handy and hopefully one day the boys will be able to lace up skates and have a blast shooting pucks!
