So LM had his first soccer "game" or scramble we should say. His buddies are playing too ..mostly instructional with fun games. It was hilarious. We got him shin guards and shorts to look like a soccer player and since daddy is home for a visit it was perfect timing for LM's first sports event ever. I could see the proud smile on daddy's face as all daddies would be so excited for this day to come.
We arrive and it's a free for all with jerseys, flags, balls, etc. Not one kid is listening to Coach Rick and they boys in true playgroup fashion take off one after the other to go look at the kids at the skate park. Great..we have a bunch of skater dude kids :) So, they continue to run around and it becomes the longest thirty minutes of daddy's life I think. His grin began to fade and he began shaking his head in the harsh realization that we didn't have a soccer sensation on our hands. All in all it was fun and we even left with a banged up knee and head with sweat dripping down his head and dirty shoes and shin guards......just like a real soccer player.
