Love of sports

Symeon like his Dad loves sports.  He has been really good at them since he was pretty tiny and he seems to be improving and adding new ones to his repertoire all the time.  Since starting to pick out what he would like to wear we have found it difficult to get him out of just a few shirts.  One particular Union soccer jersey was worn four days in a row and slept in once.  I finally put my foot down and told him it had to go into the laundry and with that he put on an Eagles jersey.  So in general he has all these cute clothes and he basically wears Phillies tee shirts, an Eagles jersey, a Union jersey, and  Flyers hockey jersey often all in the same day.  He has now started changing shirts when he plays a different sport during the day which adds to the fun.  He has also started asking to have Sissy wear sports apparel which is fine but I have refused to change her clothes every time he changes his.  The latest additions have been matching hats to the sporting event of choice, Sissy is pretty funny with this as well she loves a good accessory.  It is pretty funny to see them walking around in matching sports gear with matching hats.

If you don't know the Flyers are in the run for the Stanley Cup so we have been watching alot of playoff hockey and Symeon loves it the one thing we realize is just how much he takes in from the game.  So if you know anything about hockey you know there is body checking and throwing yourself and others into the boards.  Well Symeon has started using our kitchen cabinets as the boards and he throws himself into the boards and whacks them with his hockey stick!  Although it is pretty funny it is one of those times as a parent you have to correct in the present and laugh later.  The other night he had me laughing so hard Shawn had to discipline him because I could not keep a straight face.  Here is our soccer, hockey, baseball, football loving little guy.

Bless his little heart! I find it amazing that he enjoys sports with such enthusiasm as well as the totally slooooow Mr. Rogers DVD. I guess he is a "well-rounded" little boy! love, His Oma
