A week of firsts

I think it's official, we have a BIG boy on our hands, his social calendar is filling up with camps and lessons!!  This week began with swim lessons and soccer camp.  I was a little nervous because he's never done group activities like these and on top of that, my co worker's wife, Hilary, was going to be taking Braylen to swim lessons due to the 9:40 am start time.  I went the first day with Hilary to swim lessons and he was ready to go.  They called his name, he stood with his group and instructor and away he went.  I could tell he was a little hesitant to jump in at first, but that lasted all of about 10 seconds.  On our way out he was already for the next day's lessons!  He hasn't been "learning" much other than getting comfortable in the water, but that's the first step!  Nana will just have to give him more in depth lessons at her private pool this summer :)



He went back to school and then I picked him up early for soccer camp at UD.  He was super pumped about this.  I had his water bottle and we picked up his mini kickers t-shirt, put it on and away he ran.  Literally, I turned around to put his shirt on my purse and he bolted to the first group he saw!  I can say my son is not embarrassed, nervous or reserved when it came to group activities.  I am happy to make this statement, I would rather this than scared and hesitant!  He followed directions and was playing pretty well, considering.  The funniest part was after camp, he ran up to me and told me he needed to tell coach something, I said that coach was busy and was cleaning up, but he was insistent.  I told Bray that he could tell him again on Thursday, he wanted to go now.  I finally asked what it was that he needed to tell coach and he said, "I am going to tell him that I am going to go home and practice hockey."  Hmmm, I really think that can wait.  Maybe we have him in the wrong camp??!!




 Needless to say when we got home he played hockey all night long!!
