Playing Catch-Up: Art Show and Soccer



 Art Show!  At the beginning of April Henry's school had an art show to showcase all the students' hard work they've been doing in their art class. Thanks to the art bond, Capitol Hill hired a fabulous art teacher who has been working so hard with all the students. They set up the hallways as an art gallery and Henry had three awesome pieces to show us. All of the classes' art was so well done and we had a great evening at school checking out all the artwork.

Henry's first soccer game was the next day and he was so excited that he brought his new cleats to wear as soon as we left the school.
Spring soccer started three weeks ago and Henry couldn't be happier playing on a real team after taking so many classes at the community center. I think he may be more excited about the uniforms and cleats than anything else, but he's having a blast regardless. I will have to get some better pictures, but for now, that's him in the middle of the group with a black sweatshirt and stocking hat. They play for one hour on Saturdays - the first part is warm-ups and practice drills and then they play some scrimmages. Next year will be more structured games, but for now it's called "kick and chase." He was so thrilled after his first "game" that he wore his jersey all day long - even to a classmate's birthday party later that day.
