Heaven help us, we are officially a two-sport family. Three boys, two sports, one season. Our life is going to be even more chaotic than usual.
Last week I signed the boys up for Spring. Connor, of course, is excited to be back for his second season in Rookie League baseball. You might remember that his team did pretty well last year, coming in second place in their division and even winning the division tournament. Don't expect the same thing this season, as more than half of the team aged out of the league and moved up. Connor is one of the oldest, and most experienced, players. He's going to have some pretty big cleats to fill, and his coaches are going to be expecting quite a bit from him this season.
And the twins, for the first time ever, are signed up for soccer. It's an adaptive league, with buddies assigned to each player to help them learn the game and also stay on task. It's only one day a week (Sundays), and is more about learning and being part of a team than competing. I think Xander will really enjoy playing a sport. I'm not so sure about Sawyer. But we thought both of them should try it, at least once.
Slowly but surely, the boys are getting out into the world a little bit more. We may be sorry come Spring, when there are multiple practices or games at the same time on the same day, or when we spend all day running back and forth between athletic fields.
Time will tell ...
