I am writing this blog from my kids’ soccer game. Anthony and Jasmine joined a summer soccer league. I was nervous at first, wondering if it was the right move. This is a regular ed soccer league. But Anthony wanted to give it a try. And so far, it’s going pretty good. He needs to be reminded about the rules of the game. And the “social rules” that go along with being on a team. He is so desperate for some friends. It’s so hard to explain to him why other kids don’t understand. We are hoping that playing soccer will give him more social opportunities to be successful with. Anthony is a hard worker and seems to be enjoying himself on the playing field. I guess I have officially turned into a soccer mom.
