First (Second Third and Fourth) Goal!

Sunday soccer started back this weekend. Being Z's third season, we were cautiously optimistic that this might be his time to shine*. When we arrived, we immediately noticed he was looking like one of the bigger kids on the field (as opposed to last year when he wasn't even three and playing with four year olds). But again, we didn't want to get ahead of ourselves after watching him chase his shadow for a year. Then, it happened, Z went after the ball with tenacity, one might even say he had the eye of the tiger, and he took it to the goal, then he did it again and again and again.

 We tried to act cool but inside we were dancing the happy dance. I mean, everybody wins and blah blah, but Z kicked some butt, and it felt good.

*Use of phrases like "time to shine" and "eye of the tiger" were used in hyperbole and for entertainment purposes. I fully realize my child is 4 and probably not a soccer prodigy. I also realize that all that matters is that he's having fun and winning.
