Saturday’s this spring should really just be called Will-Day. His schedule definitely keeps us busy. He’s been playing soccer in the mornings/early afternoon (depending on the scheduled game time) of 3-on-3 in a U5 (5 and under) coed league. Today’s game was at 12:15pm, which pretty much shoots much of the morning and early afternoon.
He also has swim lessons right before dinner. Today was the last Saturday session. Pools open next weekend (for Memorial Day weekend). He has definitely improved in his water skills, though he still doesn’t quite have down the crawl yet to use it.
But we’ll definitely work on it this summer, because he really wants to be able to do it so that he isn’t in the first lane for lessons any more. More photos and video on that (as well as soccer) shortly.
His soccer games are played at Pole Green Park, which has a large playground on it (among other amenities). There’s some new equipment there that he’s been trying out, and it’s definitely different than what was available when I was a kid. Will’s still a bit cautious on the new stuff, as you can see from the photo sequence. He’s also getting into what I might call “aerial lillypads,” which can be seen on the video below. Ah, to be this young and carefree again.
I’m tired. These days tend to wear me out. Time to crash.
