Kid-Raising Milestone #2,847,473,634

If you're thinking I am overselling the amount of milestones parents experience whilst raising a child, you'd be wrong.  There have been quite a few over the years but for some reason this one feels BIG.  


The kid has earned his first official paycheck!  

He completed 4.5 hours of online courses and a three-hour in-person training session and is now a U.S. Soccer trained Grassroots Referee.  He worked as a sideline ref at two matches the week before spring break and is currently scheduled to work four more matches in the coming weeks.  There is a big platform change taking place in two days and that has made scheduling somewhat chaotic but I expect he'll be able to pick up a few more matches before the spring season ends.  Of course, I'd like him to save every penny but when last asked Hen said something about buying candy before heading into his bedroom to play video games.
