YMCA Spring Soccer Week 7: Kansas City v. Toronto

This morning, Andrew had another soccer game. It was actually our turn to bring the snacks for the team. We had little choice to bring strawberries and grapes based on Andrew's affinity towards both especially after the strawberry incident last week! He was still very interested in eating during the game, but we had a little talk about when the appropriate times were to eat snacks and when he needed to just play soccer.

And he did heed our words thankfully and it seemed to do the trick because Andrew had two goals this morning. The first was a legit goal (finally on the opposing team's goal). It was actually a decent little rip. But it was later followed by another own goal, which happened when the ball was in front of his team's goal and Andrew just kicked it in. He's still confused about whose goal is whose. We are disappointed by the own goal, but we don't blame him too much. We just need to work with him to learn the game more. I am glad he is just getting the concept down of putting the ball into the goal.

I wish I would have gotten his legit goal on tape, but I didn't. I just don't know when the big things will happen. I am seriously considering just bringing out the camcorder and recording the entire game just in case!! But the third photo below is of Andrew is running right after scoring his goal.
