Ricky is still crazy as ever. He was playing in his room the other day and came out in a scary costume he fabricated himself. This costume comprised of his underwear on his head, a flashlight tucked between his underwear and his face, his robe, and his soccer jersey around his waist. It was very frightening. See for yourself.
I think we'll just send his costume back and have him wear that outfit for Halloween.
Okay, Ricky is actually mentally stable. He's been doing well in school and is reading very well. He's picking it up pretty quickly. He is also helping his teacher with teaching some of his classmates.
He was happy to get the yellow truck in the mail from his Nana & Papa.
Ricky just finished his first season of soccer. The season was short, about 5 weeks in length. There were a total of 6 teams in the 5/6 age group. There were eight kids on the team. They named themselves the Dragons. Come to find out more than half of the teams named themselves the Dragons. I'm sure his team was the first...they picked their name at the 1st practice. Anyway, they won 3, tied 1, and lost 1. Not a bad season. Ricky did very well in soccer. He scored a few goals in the games, including the last goal of the season. I hope he stays with it. I think he'll be a great player.
We have nothing but great things to say about his coach. He's like a god when it comes to soccer and dealing with children. I don't know what we would have done without him. I think Kim has a crush on the coach, but don't tell her I said anything. I noticed her checking him out on the field and glancing at his butt. Anyway, they had an end-of-season get together at the bowling alley today. The coach bought pizza and handed out their trophies. Here's a pic of Ricky and his coach.
Okay, the cat's out of the bag. I volunteered to coach at the last minute because they needed coaches to field two more teams. I attempted to coach by myself at the first practice, but soon realized I was in over my head; I have a new respect for teachers of young children. I asked a friend to be my assistant. This worked out much better and we had a successful run. I didn't take any pictures at the practices or games because I was a little occupied. I'll have to get pics from another friend and send more pics of the soccer season later.
After we climbed around the castle, we ate some lunch at the vehicles. Ricky found a turtle. It was a hit with the kids.
