Sam had two soccer games this weekend-- a regular game and a make-up. The first game was more of the same-- general confusion with scattered moments of joy. However, some sort of light bulb went on for Sam in the second game. It involved figuring out the timing of it all-- kicking it harder so that he could get ahead of the pack. He scored 3 goals! It was great. Not that we're keeping score or care at all about the outcome of the game (okay, one of us does), but it was really fun and he had fun too. In that first picture above, he's just scored his first goal. You can maybe tell it's an emotional cocktail of shock and pride.
Unfortunately, there is no pic of my favorite soccer moment of the weekend: that being when a little guy from Sam's team decided to throw down with a guy from the other team. Not once, but twice. If you've never seen a 4/5 year old thump his chest as if to say, "bring it", then you are really missing out. On something. Not sure what exactly, but it was something to see.
