This was Liam's first year of soccer. He really enjoyed it....that is until he learned that there are rules to the game. Once he learned that you can not just run in a field kicking a ball willy nilly it lost a lot of its charm. But he stuck it out....we stuck it out also. We pushed through and Liam learned that you don't just quit. Even if rules ruin the whole experience! The top picture is him and another team mate. This is how you fill your time after you find out about the rules and they suck the fun out of the game. His little friend wasn't into it either...and her mom was the head coach!
Here he is running with Ben....Ben is 5 days younger than Liam.
Not exactly sure what we are doing here.
Liam is number 1. Here is a rare shot of him actually in action near the ball. Now that little red head girl in the orange jersey....she understood this game....and she was aggressive!
So Craig's part of homeschooling is to do science and hands on activities. We have only managed one experiment so far. Not a great track record. We did let his finger emergency set us back a couple weeks...that is our only really good excuse. Though the finger is still favored quite a bit. But we did do that one experiment!

We filled glass glasses to different levels with water and using a knife tried to made a tune. I think real crystal glasses may have done a better job with this. But Liam did get the idea and we did try to make a song...not much success.
He decided to try with different objects...a plastic spoon and a straw......
The straw didn't make much music but it did come in handy for this. I think he drank the water out of all the glasses:) I cleaned the top of the printer the other day. In the stack was the pile of experiments I had printed off the computer. I will be getting one ready for next Friday for sure! I'll keep you posted on it!
Liam is now writing his name. What an accomplishment! He is growing up so fast! Too fast!
I will leave you with a Liamism.....don't tell Craig I told you! A couple days ago they were in the bathroom. Liam loves when they go potty together. It must be a guy thing. Anyway, I guess Craig had dribbled a little. Liam said "Let me show you how to do it, you got to get that drip under control daddy." Oh my gosh!!! Hilarious!!
