On the second day of school Brock had his first soccer tournament. Last spring Brock asked us if he could play competitive soccer. He felt like rec wasn't fun anymore - and I couldn't really blame him - his rec coaches just had him run the field and do everything. I wasn't too into the idea of competitive soccer, I think he is too young to focus only on one sport (especially with how athletic he is), it is SO expensive, and the commitment and toll on the family seemed a little overwhelming. But Jason and he did a lot of research and found a good team for him, he tried out and made it - so we were in!
His first tournament was about an hour and a half away. Emotionally the timing couldn't have been better. I really enjoy watching sports, especially my kids', and Brock is old enough where the games are really fun to watch. After the 2 weeks we had just had going to a soccer tournament all day, by myself and watching soccer games and having one on one time with Brock was just what the doctor ordered. It was a perfect weekend. Having older kids is pretty cool. Brock is so fun and I loved watching him play. I just wished I had a mom, sister, aunt, or grandma to come hang out with me for the day and watch the games!
