Its the little things

This boy LOVES green.  He will tell you its his favorite color (although lately blue and yellow make the list too) he's always loved green.  When he was 6 months old he always went for the green balls in our baby swim class. And only the green balls. Yesterday on St Patty's day we ate all things green.  And he loved it.  (today he wants it to be outer space day and eat all blue foods) But any sports team he watches, he will always cheer for the green team.  When we signed him up for soccer he immediately asked "am I on the green team?"  We said we weren't sure what his uniform would be or what team he would be on and were hoping that once he saw his uniform he would forget about it not being green.  But we were surprised yesterday when we found out that his age group has teams by colors, not names.  So guess what team he is on?  The Kelly Green team (they have a Forest Green team too)  And he is super excited.  And so am I.  And I hope that when he gets older and reads his blog book that he will remember that if God cared enough to put him on the green team when he was 3, then God will also take care of the bigger things in Colin's life as well.  And hopefully I will also remember that God cares about the little things in my life too.  But for now we are off to the store to pick up the list of items we need before practice on monday (soccer ball, cleats, shin guards...) His first game is next saturday, the same day as a 10K I'm running and Brents "weekend of excellence" that his work has once a year.  Of course its all on the same day! So we'll juggle things and thankfully my parents are near to come take Colin to his first game - on the green team! Now  I wonder if we can find green cleats :)
