Yesterday Andrew scored the first goal for his indoor soccer team! The team has had a rough start and had yet to score in 5 games until yesterday. They had been taking it well and showing good sportsmanship but you just know they want to win at least once. Yesterday's game ended 1-1. It was a win in their eyes. The kids all shouted at the end, "We didn't LOSE!"When Andrew scored, all the parents went crazy clapping, cheering and jumping up and down. The other team's parents looked at us like we were nuts over just one goal. They obviously had no idea it was the first goal ever for these poor kiddos.
We didn't overdo the spotlight on Andrew and praised all the kids on their teamwork. Andrew even wrote this in his journal last night: "My friend Eric helped me score a goal at soccer today."
Aww. That was with no prompting from me! I'm so proud of him!!
