Watch out Ronaldinho, Beckham, Henry, and Ronaldo--Micro is being groomed to compete with the best. That is, the best in the 18-24 month old "Lil Kickers" league. We enrolled Micro in this "beginner" soccer program three weeks ago, and so far, he's enjoying his time. Let me say, the first class was melt-down city and by this past weekend, he is happy as a camper with s'mores.
The kids in his age group are all adorable and just fun to watch how little they understand "following directions from Coach," and instead, move to the beat of their own drums. What can you expect at this age? I just love seeing Micro in his uniform and hope he'll continue to do this--so long as he's enjoying it.
With the World Cup this summer, I'm looking forward to watching it and introducing Micro to the world of soccer. The last time the World Cup was going on, Mr. Fliz and I were fortunate enough to be on our honeymoon in Italy--and they won quite a few games--they won the World Cup that year. Boy, was it fun to be in the midst of the excitement--and let me tell you, Italians take their soccer very seriously--everything shuts down (including taxis) if Italy is about to play--we learned that as we desperately pleaded with a taxi driver to take us from a bus stop to our destination, Praiano (a small town right outside Positano along the Amalfi Coast).
Let's see who will be competing this year in South Africa for the coveted FIFA cup. I know Micro will be cheering.
