Their first games were today and I'm not sure it went that well. They play on fields right next to each other at the exact same time. So, I have to go back and forth between the two fields to split their time.
First of all, M hit the ball with her head, just like a good soccer player would. But, this stunned her and she cried for about 5 minutes (it might have actually been 10) Finally, I got her back in the game and she was running around like crazy. The only problem was that she spent a good portion of the time talking to the boy next to her. Imagine that!
Then, on J's field: He has all the energy and can actually kick pretty well. But, as with most 3/4 year olds, he doesn't quite have the attention span. Another kid was told to be the goalie. Well, J decided this kid would be his new bff. So, he didn't want to leave the other kid's side. The coach told him to come out and play. J told him no so he pulled him. I think the coach actually felt pretty bad for this because as soon as he did, J started crying. So, I held him for a while until he was calm enough to go back in the game. Then, he had a blast.
I guess, as the saying goes, there IS crying in soccer.
