A Week of Firsts! AYSO Soccer and Kindergarten!

It was a week of first's for Ben. On Saturday, he started playing AYSO soccer - his team is called The Incredible Hulks! He was very excited before we got to the field, but once we were there, it was all a bit overwhelming for our shy guy. We are gonna stick with it in hopes that he warms up to it. John was amazing with him - even though he loves sports and wants nothing more than to see his son tear it up on the field - he was so very patient - and just let Ben be Ben. It's what makes him the best daddy in the world.
Ben loves his school and especially has loved his Pre-K teachers Miss Angelica and Miss Jennifer. I cannot begin to express how absolutely amazing these two teachers have been. They love Ben so much - they understand his fears - they hold him when he needs to be held - they've gotten him to eat GREEN BEANS, bean burritos and meatballs - and they constantly challenge him. He has blossomed under their tutelage. Thank God for amazing teachers. We are all sad to leave them for the kindergarten classroom but are excited for what lies ahead...plus he still gets to see them during playtime! Kindergarten, here we come!
