Monday

We had a packed day! Ian's first day of soccer camp was this morning (9-12). He has always played soccer at a park in Morrisville, so he thought that was where his camp would be. As we were headed to camp, Ian wanted to know why we were going to NC State. When I put my blinker on and turned right into the WakeMed Soccer Park, Ian says, "Oh Woooowwwww...This is awesome! Wowwwwwww..." hahahaha His camp is at the park where the professional team plays and it's the host field for the College Cup! We signed him in and watched him go with the instructors and campers to the big field. He didn't even look back! Gavin and I got into the car and drove slowly away. Ian was just grinning from ear to ear as he put his soccer ball down and ran with the rest of the kids to score goals! Three hours later we were back picking him up. I was so impressed with his soccer abilities...right in there getting that ball and they were passing the ball to Ian. I noticed two boys calling for Ian because they wanted to be his partner for a game.

Poor Gavin wants to go with Ian for everything. He was upset that he didn't have his soccer ball with him!

Gavin got to run the Bumblebee Room at the Y this morning though. He was Mister Bigshot! Walked in with NO tears and kept saying goodbye and thanks to the staff when I picked him up.

There's a photo of Ian helping Gavin get dressed this morning. He's such a great big brother (most of the time...he does have his moments!!!). He was trying to get Gavin to wear his underwear, but since we were headed out I wasn't up for that! hahaha

I'm not really typing this in the order of how our day went!!! After naptime, we met up with Heather, Carrick, Kian and Finley at Monkey Joe's. We were there for about 2 hours and then headed to Ian's swim lesson. We hadn't seen Heather and the boys all summer, so it was nice to catch up! Ian had another great swim lesson tonight. One more to go!
