Hey Ref!

Let me ask…how cute is this?
I remember when the boy was running around the soccer fields and now…he’s refereeing the games. How times flies.
He was nervous at first, but I was confident that he was going to do just fine. And he did. I was exceedingly proud.
The girls were adorable.
“Dad, can I run now?”
“Coach, which way do I go?”
This photo of the boy is not the best but I wanted you to see this little girl. Is she flexible or what?
My shoulders came out of joint just looking at her.
And the thing is this. Boys need their moms. But boys also need males to guide them and teach them how to be God-fearing, respectful, strong yet gentle, decisive but flexible, and chivalrous. My favorite kind of men. So I’m grateful for Neighbors Paul, Leigh, Ted, Will and all the men in the boy’s life. And I’m grateful for Neighbor Steve above to do that and teach him how to referee a soccer game.
Oh above all, I’m grateful for his dad.

So cute! I can hear how proud you are of your boy!
Yeah, he is one cute referee!!
exceedingly cute! Go Ref:)
SO sweet.
you should be so proud of him mom…not an easy job at all!
Kids grow up so fast. That’s great he’s refing though.
Definitely something to be proud of.
It’s bitter sweet to watch them grow up. It looks like he did a great job and had wonderful help.
BTW that girls arm rotation range is just freaky!
Those shots are great and the words to go along with them…so true and perfect.
I love this post! Such a great story about your boy and the man he is learning to be. He’ll appreciate this vignette when he is older and looking back.
(Oh, and I have to tell you – I had to try that soccer ball move Flexible Girl is showing off…and someone walked by my cubby at work and saw me. Oops. But I could totally do it!)
Katie you are crazy:)
