Soccer

This year Cole is playing soccer and tonight was the first game I got to go and watch. It was only the 2nd game of the season, but it was the CUTEST thing ever. I didn't realize how different the rules were for kids ages 5 and under. First of all, there are only 3 kids on the field at a time. Secondly, both teams split themselves in half so most of the kids end up playing most of the game. And thirdly, snack lasted longer than the entire 2 halves.

I think the best quote I heard all night was this:

Kid - "Coach, someone is trying to steal our ball."

Coach - "No Madison, that is just the other team."



I laughed so hard (of course not in front of the poor kid). I was glad I could go and watch tonight's game because Cole scored his first goal. He was so proud of himself and I was pretty proud also. He couldn't wipe the grin off of his face. I was impressed at how focused he was considering most of the kids pick dandelions and swing on the goal posts.

This was Cole's very proud face after scoring the goal
