7 year, 7 months birthday was yesterday, but who's counting (remember when we counted by months? ha!)
Kid is in soccer now, and I'm the coach. He had his first game on Saturday.
8/21/21 - First soccer game
Score 3-3
The Kid scored 2 goals!
We were down 0-3 at halftime, but then the boy turned it on the second half and led us to a tie!
After he scored the first goal, he ran back and gave me a high five - and a parent snapped a photo of it. It's perhaps, the best photo I've ever seen in my life - the kid is so happy.
You can't see my face in the photo, but if you could, you'd see that I too, was happy, but mostly, relived, that at least we would not get shut out.
AND LATER
The other day at baseball clinic he was hitting well and told the guys running the clinic - "It feels good when you hit it."
That's true, and something we don't often express, but really, that about sums up most sports. Feels good when you hit something or kick something, or throw something in a basket. Seroiusly.
