Soccer Star


Sam has been playing soccer now for two weeks. His first experience was not exactly triumphant although they did win. The coach (a very nice guy) had the kids come an hour early so he could meet them and give them the uniforms and so forth. It was a really hot day so before the game even started the kids were getting tired and hot. At the very end of the game Sam just shoved this kid right over. Anyway ... his coach was being really nice about it and telling him he can't push and so forth and Sam just lost it burst into tears ran over to me and said it was his fault he lost the game. The look on his coaches face was so startled, he tried to tell Sam that not only did he not loose the game they won. But he was not to be consoled. At least until after we went to ColdStone and got ice cream.

Last night's game was much better. My parents were able to attend with Sam and they said he had a lot of fun and that is what it is all about. Two kids were missing from his team so played most of the game and they said he was right in there trying to kick the ball. So fun!
