Bend It Like Beckham

We had a busy morning on Friday. I went to my MOPS meeting, which means that Garytt got to play with the kiddos there. He loves going to MOPS because he loves to play and he really wears himself out! The MOPPETS volunteers that watch the kids in his room always comment that he doesn't stop moving for the whole two hours.

We had to sneak out a few minutes early from MOPS in order to make it home for just about 30 minutes, which was just long enough to feed both the boys. Then we headed out to the hair salon. Garytt was in desperate need of a haircut and I haven't gotten the nerve back up to try to cut it again, especially since next week is his birthday.

Garytt did a great job at the salon. The stylist was super impressed with how well behaved and cooperative he was. (Proud mama moment! And a far cry from the terrible twos toddler from a few days earlier!) And, of course, Westyn was a hit at the salon as well.

When we got back from the salon, I saw there was a package waiting for Garytt! We waited until Justin got home from work before we opened it (plus Garytt really needed a nap). Garytt received a birthday gift from Mimi! We decided that it was ok for him to open it and play before his birthday since we will be out of town.

Mimi sent him a toddler soccer set and he loves it! Thanks Mimi! (And yes I know his pants don't really match his top but the jeans he was wearing earlier were a mess after dinner.)

Justin showed Garytt how to kick the ball into the net.

Westyn watched from the sideline.

Not sure if the sidelines are all that safe...



(Although it looks like Garytt is throwing the ball directly at Westyn, he is actually throwing the ball to Justin...the ball passes right by Westyn. Whew!)

Here are all my guys!

Brief pause for a picture...



Off he goes again!

Westyn is impressed with his big brother's skills!



Here is a video of him scoring a goal...yes, he is like two inches from the goal but he is so proud of himself!



Ok, so Garytt might not be able to "bend it like Beckham" just yet...but with a little practice, who knows what the future may hold?

So glad he is enjoying the gift, and the weather is warm enough for him to play outside with it. Love, Mini
