Soccer

There are several cute things I wanted to remember, so lets just discuss them quickly:

– B was helping daddy carry things in from the car, and when Daddy thanked him he responded with “it’s not any trouble, daddy!”. Love that.

– He has started telling Mommy, “I love you more than….” and he inserts all kinds of things. Trees, clouds, even race cars! When I really want to wow him, I tell him that I love him even more than marshmallows and rainbows. Even he knows that is A LOT.

– I think I have mentioned his sudden love of all things Star Wars, but maybe I haven’t. We have walked by Star Wars stuff for three and a half years and he has never paid much attention. He still hasn’t seen the films or the tv shows – nothing changed – but suddenly, he is INTO it. Is this a gene that exists in boys or something? That suddenly just flips on? He really likes Darth Vadar and I didn’t know what to make of that, so I told him that in the end, Darth Vadar becomes a good guy. Daddy was NOT PLEASED. I had to change my story to say that I really HOPE that in the end DV can learn to be a good guy. He calls the Millennium Falcon the “Milemony Falcon” which I love, but today was my favorite – he started referring to Jabba the Hutt as “Job of the Hutt”.

– Today I went to visit at school and he was just waking up from his nap in unfamiliar pants. I asked him what happened and he told me he had an accident. In my head I thought, “OH MY GOSH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BOY??!??!” because he has not had an accident in maybe a YEAR. He can and does hold his pee all night, and is not all that eager to pee in the morning. He has an iron bladder. But of course I told him that it was nothing to worry about – that everyone has accidents now and then. But I couldn’t shake my worries… I asked him when it happened – whether he was just having too much fun and forgot? Was he outside? He told me he was on his bed. Finally I asked the teacher what had happened. She told me that two kids had accidents at nap time, and so they got off their bed and went to read a story with the teachers. Brendan and one other girl who were not interested in napping, figured out that if they had an accident, they could skip nap too. I’m not kidding. Even the teachers knew what was going on. So clearly he is too smart for these teachers. We had a talk about it and I told him that was NOT okay, and that if he really wasn’t tired, he could ask the teachers if he could just read a book on his bed. Last night, he didn’t want to go to sleep so I handed him a book to read on his own. When I went back in to check on him, I found this:


And the good news is, if we run out of blankets, he can just keep warm under his book! Silly boy.

– I also happened to get this movie at dinner – just our boy, being our boy:

But the thing that happened this weekend, was the moment of parenting that Rob has been waiting for his whole life: Soccer.

Both Brendan and Daddy were pretty excited, but only one of them had a new pair of cleats to wear onto the field.

Then he got the pre-practice pep talk from Dad:


Then it was time to meet the coaches, who clearly fell in love with him immediately. One of them called him “Bren” which kindof filled my heart with glee.

Then a few words from the coaches:

And it was time to play:


And 30 minutes later, it was over.
He didn’t want to leave, but we assured him we’d be back next week.
I loved seeing Brendan play, but I think I may have enjoyed watching Rob watch Brendan even more. I predict some assistant coaching gigs in the near future, and Brendan feeling just as proud of his daddy out there on the field, as his daddy is of him.

It is vaguely possible that I have said this before, but I’m 100% sure that Brendan has never been cuter, and could never possibly be any cuter. He is perfection. I love him so much that just a glance at his picture makes my heart swell as wide as the ocean. I love him more than marshmallows and rainbows.
