Sept means Seven

We are getting into our routine with Abel here, and part of that means getting ready for school.  Last night, I did my parental duty and went to the soccer parent meeting.  It was full of all of the things that American high school sports are full of -- booster clubs, fund raising, behavior policies, and more fundraising.  We even bought our fair share of tickets for the waffle breakfast.  It seems like the coach is dedicated to the sport and to the players, and the kids seem great -- I am excited to watch the season unfold.

As part of the meeting, Abel got to choose his uniform.  I had asked him before what number he usually chooses, and he said that he was 2 last season, so I expected to see the same thing.  After our meeting, he showed me his uniform and said, "I chose seven. Like Sete."  You see, in French, the word for the number seven is sept. You pronounce it the same way that you pronounce Sete, Abel's hometown.  Love.

Seven is Sept is Sete.
