Dad signed J up for soccer. We bought him a new soccer ball & shin guards. (He is using a pair of unisex soccer cleats we had from when the girls played a couple years ago.) J insisted on trying all his new equipment. Sure. Then, all the rest of our children went digging for their old cleats & shin guards so they could play soccer too. E tried to squeeze his feet into his old baseball cleats and didn't quite make it. M wore them instead. We adults had to make due with our regular running shoes. I thought it was cute and supportive of them to be so excited to help J practice in the backyard. Way to work as a team!
