Most of Will's soccer season went unblogged this year. He played his second season in the U8 fall league. This year, he had a young coach who was very enthusiastic, to the point of adding an additional weekly practice. That meant soccer took up 3 days per week, which is a lot for a 7-year-old.
The last game was a tournament, and John was working and I was on call. Will's team played at 8 am and then again at 9 am. If they won both those games, they would play in the championship game at 11 am. I was nervous because I had a babysitter coming at noon to watch the kids so I could do hospital rounds, so I was kinda hoping they didn't win. Which is terrible, I know! But not an uncommon sentiment among the U8 parents. I mean, there's only so much kids' soccer you can watch in one morning.
Anyway, they lost both games, we moms did some stealthy high-fives, then put on sympathetic faces as the boys came to the sideline: "Good try! You did your best!" Then they got snacks and trophies and all losses were forgotten. :-)
