YMCA Spring Soccer Week 6: Salt Lake v. Toronto

We had our third soccer game this morning. Both Nonna and Uncle Footon were in town and came to watch Andrew. He must have really wanted to make it worth their wild because he really put on a show today!

Something totally clicked this morning because Andrew was all over the ball. He was running quickly to get to it and dribbling like a mad man. Unfortunately, it wasn't always in the right direction, but at least he was doing it.

A parent had brought strawberries for snacks and Andrew wanted to eat them. I told him he had to wait until during halftime. During which, he scarfed down a few, but apparently, still hadn't had enough by the time the game resumed. During the second half, he would run over to the strawberry container and grabbed one. Then, he would run back on the field while eating it. We yelled at Andrew to eat later, but he must have had like three or four during the second half. It was hard to keep from laughing!!

But I guess the strawberries did the trick because Andrew scored a goal!! Unfortunately, it was in his team's goal, but we'll take it. I know it's hard for Andrew to understand that each team has a goal and then to remember which one is which when he is running all over the field. Drew was right around the goal line and just kicked it into the goal. Of course, I suck and didn't get a video!

But we are so proud of Andrew's play today. He did great job getting to the ball and kicking it. And of course, we are thrilled he scored a goal. But we will definitely work with him on differentiating between his team's goal and the opposing team's goal.

We also got our professional photos back after practice. Look at my little soccer player!!
