He loves soccer.  I played my first ever game of soccer, just the 2 of us.  After seeing that I couldn't quite keep up with a 7 year old, he said he'd go easy on me.  So sweet of him :)

This is me checking for a photography bug in him.  This is a 'shoot oddball things' outing he got into!

MentorMe is a program under Petaluma People Services Center “to empower young people to reach their highest potential by matching them with a mentor".  I met my mentee at age 5.  He is now (2024) 8 in 4th grade.

I won’t post pics of other people’s kids.  But I want to mention the fun and hopefully useful program in case someone perusing this site is interested.  They always need more mentors.
