Last weekend was the mother of all soccer games....well if one is five years old anyway. There should have been 4 games but rain and snow and wind and sleet and just overall crappy weather reduced the season to a mere 2 games. These children had practiced for 4 weeks without a game; they were ready. This game was quite the educational experience for me. In fact, everything I need to know I learned at a soccer game.....
It really doesn't matter which team one is on and it certainly doesn't matter who scores a goal. Everybody celebrates.
Scoring on one's own goal is celebrated just as much by the kids. (The parents can't stop laughing.)
Bubbles will cause an entire field of children to abandon the game and chase them off the field.
Snack time is infinitely more important than the game.
It's OK to touch the ball...it's easier to kick the ball if it's not moving.
The kid who brings the best snack wins.
Oranges slice smiles will make 5 year olds laugh so hard they pee their pants
Dandelions will be picked and given to mothers mid-game
These games make my weekend. I can't stop smiling.
