Lion King, Ugly Shoes and Soccer Stud

Ah - the joys of Disney movies. I love them but each and every one has a message behind it. This usually leads to at least one day of talking about that lesson with Bobby. For example, for 20 minutes in the car - why did Scar want to fight Simba in The Lion King (we watched it again last night) - why did Scar push Mufasa..why...why...why... This lead into a conversation about how animals sometimes challenge each other in the wild and - no - he would not be challenging Daddy someday to rule our house. As Rob said - he would just back down and let him take over the responsibility :) It is pretty funny to me to see where his mind goes as he is figuring out why things happen the way they do.

On the same outing - we took Bobby to pick out school shoes. He proceeded to choose a pretty ugly pair. As i kept telling myself - they are HIS shoes and HE should be able to choose...even as we cringed :)

I got an email inviting Bobby to sign up for the FC Dallas (pro soccer team) Academy team. His Soccer Tots coach recommended him. It is "pretty cool" as Bobby says - he starts Wednesday. It is just practicing skills (one practice a week)- no games so no real commitment but us or Bobby. Just skills development so he can have fun and learn with the FC Dallas coaches/players without pressure. Rob and I will see how it goes and if he likes it.
