Cody, again!

Well, it's official! I no longer have any babies! Cody signed up to play soccer today. I can't believe he is going to be playing a sport. I know it will be good for him. He is starting to branch out and trying new things. He is actually excited about starting kindergarten in the fall. He tells everyone he will be in Mrs. Hedden's class (Chad's K teacher) so I have to make sure that happens or he may go into a tailspin! The idea of tiny little Cody playing on a soccer field is funny to me. It will be entertaining. Chase was the same age when he started playing soccer but he always seems older to me than Cody at the same age. I know it's just my perception of Cody as a baby. I need to let that go and let him be a big kid!

He is excited that Calvin will be on his team. It is sweet to watch your children develop friendships. It seems that age 5 is the age that really starts to happen. I'm so glad we live here and our children have so many good friends!

It was so nice outside today. The kids played outside all afternoon and even had a watergun fight. Claire was evidently not very good at the battle because she came home soaking wet!! The boys were hardly wet at all - mainly their rear ends because they slid in the wet grass. I think the teams were pretty heavily weighted in the boys favor, though. There were about 8 boys and 3 girls - hardly seems even! I'm not one for hot weather but it is nice to be able to wear flipflops and the kids run around barefoot! I guess it was just nice for our feet to come out of sock hibernation!
