Owen has played Eastvale Little League for the past few years…actually since August 2014. And he grew oh so much over the years. Baseball was his thang for a while…and I was darn proud since I was a little leaguer growing up as well.
Owen also played a season of flag football…in August 2015. That was ROUGH but we learned so much!!
This year Owen asked to NOT play baseball. He wanted a break…and I get it. Sometimes those games and practices can be so boring and SO long! HE asked if he could please play soccer. So…I am now a “soccer mom”.
We are playing with Empire Soccer. He’s on Team Mexico, Pokemon Mexico actually..and he LOVES it! After his first day of practice he gets in the car and says “Mom, no offense but I love soccer MORE than baseball!” haha. No offense taken son! I’m happy he has found something he really enjoys. He’s not the best athlete but I admire his effort and attitude. He tries so hard to please everyone, his coaches, his parents, his team mates…
But I guess that Soccer just isn’t enough…Owen also asked to audition for the Shrek Musical that our high school is putting on this spring. Our theatre teacher is amazing and for the past few productions she has “littles” or “juniors” as part of the show…those are kids from close by schools that are k-8th grade. Owen auditioned with 81 other kids….and 78 of them made the cut!! haha
We found out a few days later that he MADE it…heehee. He was very happy, especially since his buddy Addi is also part of the musical. He’s a little man of many talents I tell you!
Can’t wait to see him on stage for all 6 shows at the end of April!! For now our once a week, hour long practice is keeping us busier!
