Matthew has been looking forward to the whole idea of playing soccer for a while. So he was ready to put the "too long" shorts on. He wasn't ready however to put on the shin guards/socks (which were too big on him) That was interesting this morning but after he saw everyone wearing them he was totally fine! His jersey is way too big for him so I need to figure out how to make it shorter before the next game! He is definitely one of the youngest kids in the team and one of the shortest. He wanted to be the only one kicking the ball and kept going after it... so hopefully this will teach him how to share with others.
Watching them was hilarious...they were running all over the place, one little boy kept doing cartwheels, another one kept pulling his shirt up to show everyone his belly, a little girl stopped to pick a flower and another one cried when they didn't make a goal and they kept running into the other field... I laughed most of the time definitely a great time! At the end of it all they didn't win although they don't really keep score everything is just about fun. The coach gives out this "medals" at the end of the game for good sportmanship (aka plastic gold medals) Matthew of course wanted one so as he went to bed tonight he tells me "Mama I am going to get that gold medal" at least he is determined and has a goal... which made me whisper a quick prayer as I hugged him please Lord let him keep this trait of determination as he grows into an adult.
David took video so hopefully we can upload one of those sometime this week! For now enjoy some of the photos I took today!
