Just Gelin'

Gelin', as in hair gel, which about 15 minutes before we were supposed to leave for kindergarten Adam decides to cover his head with. He was in the bathroom with the door locked and when I insisted he open the door I was greeted with a kid who looked like he had just got out of the shower and still had the shampoo in his hair! I am so mad at myself for not getting the camera because it really was quite humorous (in hindsight). But of course being in the time crunch we were, I lost it and made him cry. Why can't I learn to be more relaxed about things? Anyway, we took care of it with a quick rinse of the head under the shower but I didn't have time to wash it. His hair will probably still be a bit stiff today, he used Carl's hair gel and Dippity Doo which those of us know from our performing days is like glue! Well, hopefully the week will just get better, and I will learn to be more patient.

Soccer Season Begins

Soccer season is upon us and due to high enrollment and a lack of coaches, I ended up as the coach for Adam's team. Luckily one of the boys on the team has an older sister that plays soccer in high school and she is the assistant coach. I'm more of the figurehead and she actually knows about soccer. We had a practice last night where we met the team and decided on our team name, the Ninja Turtles. Then, our first game was this morning. Most of the players on our team have played before and they did really well. At this age they don't even really keep score, but Adam did make the last goal of the game and seems to have improved a lot since last year.
