Soccer Afternoon

Wednesday is supposed to be my early day.  Actually it is my early day but that is just about work.  I left work, got home in time to grab a water bottle and some clothes for Levi.  I picked him up from school and took him to soccer.  There is a program at school that teaches soccer on the oval after the day ends.  Soccer mad Levi wanted to do it, even if it was the same day as his regular soccer. So, it was one soccer and then the second at the big fields.  If this all sounds complicated and frenzied, it is.  If it sounds like I arrive just slightly late to every thing, you are right.  However Levi has a blast and that is what keeps it all going.  In the first soccer he has Ruby and in the second he has Matthew and Zoe. 

Then we got home and finished off the fish tank.  We set it all up and finally Dibber is swimming happily.  Ultralord is doing his snail job and so is the new Ultralord 2 (OK we don't have very unique names around here!).  Actually, just between you and me, Ultralord is new too but Levi has forgotten that the original died.  I am happy that he is loving it.  He went to sleep watching the fish tonight.  Another calming influence.  One of my friends, Jac asked him today if he liked his dragon.  He told her that it gave him good dreams and that it chased away his bad ones!  I don't want to get too ahead of myself and jinx it but I think (touch wood, heck touch anything!) that the dragon experiment worked and he is proving to all of us that if you believe in something strongly enough it becomes real.

 As you can see, Icy still plays a big role in his protection as well and even though Icy is getting a bit scruffy from repeated washing, he has already become 'real'.  

Our life continues to cycle busier and busier, yet soccer on the weekend has not even started!  Levi is in full blown packing mode.  We are going to the coast with my friend and one of Levi's Godmother, Julie.  She lives in Cairns and is coming down for work Thursday and Friday and staying for the weekend.  Of course, anytime we are going anywhere, for any length of time, Levi packs.  Unfortunately, he packs randomly.  In random little bags everywhere and in big bags there is 'packing'.  Oh I can only hope that at least one bag has clothes!
