Once again, Cooper woke up this morning super excited about his soccer game. So excited that he got himself dressed rather than waiting on me or Matt to help him get dressed...he was ready to go!
Speaking of getting himself dressed, he wore the same thing again this week...backwards cap and sunglasses...oh, and his watch! He is so funny and loves him some extra "gear"...
Matt coached last week so Cooper wanted him to coach again this week...so he did...typically two parents are on the field assisting anyway.
Notice the little boy in front of Cooper...let's just say he gave Cooper a run for his money and Cooper did NOT like it at all. He would score every time he got the ball, and Cooper was playing his heart trying to keep him from scoring, but he was just really good. The other part of the problem was Cooper was the only one on his team that wanted to play...so...he basically played 3 on 1. Let's just say it was a morning of "hard" lessons to learn...there are many people better than you as sad as it may be.
Bless his heart...he played and played, but he still cried every time that little boy scored, which was a lot.
At half time, he threw his hat and sunglasses off and took a quick break. He came back on the field with just his hat and was ready to play again. But yes, still cried every time the other little boy scored.
He only scored one goal in the first half, but he scored several in the second half thankfully. I'm afraid he may be a little competitive...
Ending the game with a goal! He left the field all smiles and said he had fun. Whew...I sure didn't think he was having fun, and I wasn't loving teaching him that some kids are just better than him, but he still has to give it his all. Anxious to see how things go at our make-up game Tuesday night...
