Augustine has been asking to play soccer for a year, so I decided he was serious and signed him up. It's less than one hour a week for seven weeks, so I don't think it will be too much.
He loved every minute of it, and can't wait for next week! He was good too, considering even never played, practiced, or even talked about the game. His coach seems to be really good at teaching little kids, so it will be interesting how much improvement we see.
He scored a goal in his first game!
Surprise ending: you get a full-size Gatorade. What's not to like?!
Now, Augustine's rookie parents made a LOT of mistakes the first game. I forgot to buy shinguards. I forgot to sunscreen Augustine before the game. I forgot his water bottle. Luckily, we had sunscreen in the bag, and Grandma sent water. We had no hats for anyone. The rest of us were still in our Mass clothes. We brought no lawn chairs.
We all learned a lot.
