Saturday was Collin's first ever soccer game. He has been wearing his cleats and shin guards around the house since he got them three weeks ago. Every day, "Do I have practice or a game tomorrow?" Concepts of time for a 6 year old are not quite that easy! So, Saturday was the big day. They play in a 3 on 3 format on two separate fields. His team started with 10 children, but is down to 6 because of vacations and a couple of injuries (not caused by soccer!). Every child played the entire game.
At this age, they are very cute. A little swarm of bumble bees fighting the other team's and their own players for the ball.
Collin had a great game. He scored 5 goals! Way to go! Of course, half way through the game he says, "I think we're losing." The other team hadn't scored a goal. His next comment, "What do you think the snacks are?" Gives us all a little perspective! Who cares how many goals we score mom...just bring on the snacks!
