Well, this past Thursday was Sebastian's first soccer practice. Not surprisingly, he was the smallest little guy on his team - also the youngest...I think all the other boys are 7 or 8. He seemed to have a really good time. He even actually looked like he kinda knew what he was doing. I think soccer seems to be holding his attention a little more than t-ball did - not so much standing around and waiting, I think.
They had a team meeting with all the kids and coaches to pick out their team name. They are the 'Stingers.' Fittingly, while they were having this team meeting, Lucas was on the playground with Isaac and Meagan, where he was being stung by bees that had made their home in some of the playground equipment. LOL!
No real incidents during practice. Only once, one little boy who is more than a head taller than Sebastian tried to cut in front of him for a turn to do the drill they were doing. First, Sebastian just kinda stepped back around in front of him. When the kid tried again to get in front of him, Sebastian turned to face the kid and squared off against him. Again, the kid tried to get around him to cut...that was it. Sebastian, stepped back in front of him to block him, and pushed him back into his place. So I'd say even though he's the youngest and the smallest on his team, he has every intention of standing up for himself...makes his daddy proud! One of the other dad's saw all of this happen, and said, 'Ooo, he looks like he's a scrappy little guy, huh?' SCRAPPY. What a perfect way to describe him. I couldn't help of thinking of some of the stories my dad has told me about his childhood days having to stand up for himself...Sebastian definitely has a little of his grandpa in him.
