First Game

M has been wanting to play soccer for the past 3 years. He has talked about little else since H played 3 years ago. This year we got him signed up and he was one excited little boy. He couldn't wait for practice (his coach never showed up, which concerned me, thunder and lightning struck 20 minutes after practice was supposed to start and it didn't look like this soccer thing was going to work out).

One of the player's dad suggested another practice on Friday night...this practice took place and M glowed.

Saturday morning was the first game...M was dressed by 6 a.m. in his uniform. He bounced off the walls until it was time to go. We could barely get him to eat. This is his first game. (By the way, he scored the first and last goal for his team, he was proud)

This video shows the Proud M in action. Unfortunately, the video shows the other team scoring...which they did a lot.
