hidden agenda

Oh, the joys of kindergarten soccer. It’s not a total exercise in futility. No, I reserve that description for 3-year-old soccer. While the cuteness factor does somewhat make up for the pointlessness of watching (most) 3-year-olds stare into space and kick balls in the wrong direction, I did find myself wondering more than once why we were starting this so young. So we skipped a year, but when information was sent home for the kindergarten team, I thought it was time for the eldest to give it another shot.

After the first practice, I was encouraged. It looked like he was really getting it this time and if nothing else, he was having a great time running up and down the field with his friends with nary an iPad, LeapPad or pad of any other kind in sight.
