The End to Soccer

Troy has had an interesting go of soccer. He did not fair too well in the beginning, but as the weeks have gone by, he has gotten better with each practice or game. The bad episodes have gotten smaller and now he has been able to stay in most of each game.

What he does not realize is that he is really good! He is a great runner and can really kick the ball. My favorite line is from last week when Troy was on defense. The other team was trying to score a goal and Troy kicked the ball out of bounds. We were so excited for him and cheering. He said, "Did I save the town?" I told him, "No, buddy, you saved the city!" He was so excited.

 His old teachers, Miss Heather and Miss Stephanie, came to watch him this week. He loved having them there cheering him on. Saturday is his last game and I am kind of happy it will be over since he is in Gymnastics and Swimming as well. I compare the number of activities to Troy's comment to me this afternoon, "Mom, my brain is out of juice."
