Soccer Is the Best

I thought you might be interested to see what kind of soccer skills I've picked up in my first season.

This is my pre-game stretching routine.

Here I'm playing my usual game-time position.  Coach says this is where I'm really needed.

 This is me being subbed out after a couple of minutes of vigorous game action.

 Today, during one of my many times on the sidelines, I found one of my teammate's fidget spinners, so I was able to practice my fidget spinning while the game went on behind me.

 I'm pretty good at getting rest in between quarters, which is a time when my teammates are also not on the field.  It's really my favorite thing about soccer.

Let's Go, Dodgers!

Grace really got into Dodger Spirit Day at school today.

She was sure her fierce support would carry the team to victory tonight in Game 3 of the World Series, but it was not to be.  At least there's another game tomorrow.

Soccer Saturday

So I'm just going to say it: I don't like playing soccer.

 Do I look like a fierce ball handler to you?  In this photo it may seem like I have some skills.

 But this one is more representative of my style of play.  As you might imagine, it's not very effective.

 If the coach has to pull me out to put somebody else in, so be it.  No hard feelings on my part.  I'm a team player.

My Lego Phase

 In case you didn't know, I celebrated a birthday recently.  I received a number of Lego sets as gifts, which I am currently very much enjoying.

 In particular, I like to take my Lego boats into the tub to see if they float.  Some do; some don't. 

 I can be very serious about my Lego work.
