1st Soccer Game


So Connor's 1st Soccer Game was Saturday.
At first he was doing great. He slipped and fell, got up and started playing again.
Next thing we know he is crying in the middle of the field.
He said the Blue Team is beating him up. And he wouldn't play again.
He also said I don't want to play soccer anymore. The game was only 20 minutes long. It was 4 on 4. And all the kids on Connor's team just started crying and didn't want to play. It was the longest 20 minutes I've had in a while.
The coach was ready to throw in the towel (So to speak) after 10 minutes.
It was weird. We told Connor he can't quit and he will still go to practice on Thursday to and every game. He is old enough to understand that quitting isn't the right thing to do.

LOL That just cracked me up. How sad that all the kids were crying. Once again...sounds like something Josiah would do;) We really need to work on toughening him up. Even his little brother beats him up sometimes...pathetic! Hope Connor grows to like it!!!
