We won, 4-1. Ben's shaping up to be quite the striker.

-Soccer game this morning. The boy runs the field, up and down, the entire game. He’s excited.

-Martial Arts tournament right after the freaking game. Yep, he’ll pay a full soccer game then compete.

Should prove to be interesting.

I’ve been pretty worried that we’ve been “over-scheduling” the boy. He’s got swim lessons on Monday, his Tai-Kwan-Do on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, soccer practice on Thursdays and games on Saturdays.

Jo’s opinion that him being active and engaged is what’s important. I tend to agree, but I don’t want my eight-year-old to start having stress issues or pushing himself too hard. He needs to have a childhood.

He’s been frank about it in the past. I just hope he has the emotional maturity to tell us if it’s really affecting him negatively.

Very proud of that boy. He’s an amazing kid.
