Saturday, the kids had their soccer games. It was picture day too, which meant a game at 10, a picture at 11, a game at 12, a picture at 1. I knew that would never work, so Todd and I decided to divide and conquer. I took Ethan and then Todd took Madeline. I thought this was a splendid idea until Madeline and Todd got home and I found out what I had missed!!!
Before Saturday, Madeline's team had lost every single game. Madeline liked playing but hadn't really gotten into the games a whole lot, and didn't know she could score. But this past Saturday, something in Madeline's brain clicked and I guess she figured out how to dominate in soccer. I wish I could tell you what happened, but see, I wasn't there to see it. And what exactly did I miss???
I don't know how it happened, but I sure hope it happens again, because I am NOT gonna miss another game. She just kept taking control of the ball, handling it all the way down the field and into the net over and over and over. She rocks! I'm totally taking my camera this week. Because I have a feeling last week wasn't a fluke. Fingers crossed! No pressure girl! But can I see you make at least one goal??!!??
This inspired Ethan too. So maybe I'll be lucky enough to see both my kids score. That would be fun!
Madeline, I'm totally proud of you. You're way too cool for me. I never scored 5 goals in one game. Oh wait, I never played soccer, but if I had, you totally would have kicked my trash! :)
