This is a story about a mom with two boys. She and her husband have been busy taking care of their kids and going through different activities like school and sports. They noticed that social groups become more noticeable as kids get older, especially in sports. Their older son initially preferred playing at home but eventually joined a soccer team with a friend. He was excited at first, but his feelings changed later in the season.
