Spring 2012 is upon us! For many people, spring is the time of year in which they pack away the mittens and dust off those gardening gloves. For me, the mom of two active boys, the beginning of a new season, ANY season, means one important thing…time to start (another) new sport! This spring in particular is a whole new ball game literally for us. Even though I have been a “sports mom” for 3 years now yet I have a feeling that this time I am in for a world of change. I wonder about the change each season brings…it’s a feeling I should be familiar with by now…but somehow it seems to always catch me by surprise. Could it be my inability to relinquish control because each season brings something new in all areas of life or is it that I simply enjoy the familiar? We have been signing our kids up for sports with my husband coaching and me being the “Team Mom” without discussing what, where, and when with our kids. We are after all the parents and they are kids. Kids don’t really know what they want…or do they? When do they really know?

Your sons are lucky that you’re allowing them to pursue their unique interests and passions – it really does complicate life for you as the mother so it isn’t an easy sacrifice to make. Good luck!

I can totally relate…I wanted to have my 4 boys always be in the same sports for my own piece of mind but they ended up choosing what they really liked and wanted. Great post!
