second soccer practice


Yesterday. . .

A warm early evening spent at Hempfield Park. . .

Watching Luke pick dandelions (headfirst into the grass under the bleachers. . .
prettee fowers. . .)

And Jack run back and forth across the field. . .
Happily kicking the soccer ball in a game with five other boys (all in blue shirts). . .
not knowing which goal really belonged to their teams. . .
but delirious to play. . . with other little people. . .
playing with a child's abandon: running pell mell and full tilt. . . screaming meaningless sounds proclaiming his consuming happiness. . .

And happy to announce that he made four scores! And that blue team won (never mind that both of their teams wore blue shirts, grin). . .sixteen points!

Such a happy day =0]
