Riley had his first soccer game last Saturday.  He had so much fun!  A few times he started doing "tricks" on the field.  When I say trick I mean things like summer salts on the run.  It just made me laugh.


Riley is all about following rules and making good choices.  He also takes it upon himself to be, what we call, the hall monitor.  Lately he's been correcting Jeremy a lot, much too our dismay because it's in excess.  We can see the school playground from our driveway.  As we were pulling in it today Riley informed Jeremy that
 "You have to swing on your bum, not your stomach!!"  (FYI- Since Riley just started kindergarten, they've been going over the rules at school alot.)  

Jeremy:  Nooo-oo

Riley:  Yes you do Jeremy.

Lane:  Riley stop correcting Jeremy.  Nobody likes that!

Riley:  (raising his voice exclaims) THERE ARE RULES!!!

Lane and I were just laughing because it's so classic Riley!  It still makes me laugh just thinking about it!
