Uniform Bliss

Meant to post this little tidbit last week, but never got around to it. We have signed Jack up to play indoor soccer. Haven't been to a game yet (too many weddings) but we did get in a practice last week. Basically it looks like it will be 5 on 5 or basically just a herd of kids chasing a ball. There are no golies, and no score kept. So basically just an excuse to send your kid into a closed ring and let them run for 30 min to an hour.

Anyway, my point in writing this is to describe Jack's reaction to getting his jersey at the last practice. It is a solid green jersey with black stripes at the sleves and collar. And he is number 25. Fairly plain jersey...but let's just say that Jack was thirlled to get it and wear it. We wore it to supper that night and around the house the next day. He knows his number already if you ask him.

I have always liked uniforms...as noticed by my link to uniwatch on the side...but seeing and remembering how exciting it was to get handed your team uniform was fun for me to see through Jack's eyes this time. It will probably wear off, but it was a nice moment none the less.
