Pee Wee Soccer

"Uh, why is everybody making such a big deal about the ball? Can't we just run around for a while?"

This isn't the best picture from last night, at Timmy's first soccer game. (Will got some beautiful shots that look like they're straight out of the YMCA youth sports brochure.) But this one pretty much captures what happened.

Timothy ran wandered to and fro, scowled, and told the coach many, many things. He barely touched the ball. In fact he didn't seem that interested in actually playing soccer. He got to face off at the beginning of the game, had some blue Gatorade, ran around, asked for more Gatorade, took a throw-in, had snacks and Gatorade...

Timmy definitely had the biggest cheering section: me, Will, Liam, Bill, and Mary Kay. It was kinda painful for Will to watch, but I thought it was great entertainment. My favorite moment was when a kid got a break-away, gave the ball one kick, and instead of following it ran over to give his mom a high five.
