I packed a big bag of water bottles and snacks and we headed off to the soccer fields early this morning for back to back to back games for Elinor, Cannon, and Faith. Meanwhile, Abe and Clark headed off to Clark's football game. Tis the season for fall sports!
I think there should be a child psychology study done based solely on observations from a Pre-K soccer game. What does the young players behavior on the soccer field predict about their future relationships and jobs and such.
Cannon really liked being close by and talking to and touching his coaches. He's a pretty communicative, touchy, affectionate little guy, but I didn't realize just how much he likes to be close to people. And not so much the other kids, but the adults.
He likes his coaches.
But I guess he's not the only one who likes the coaches. Cannon is sitting in his lap. It's not just his own coaches that Cannon liked talking to-- he was happy to talk to the other team's coach and the refs as well. Funny boy. It did shed some light on his behavior at home, in that for so long he has been so demanding of me and my attention. It's not just my imagination, he really does have a high need for interaction.
But this little one certainly doesn't require much, but she gives out a lot of love! She is surprisingly quick and agile on the field.
Georgie is so happy to be out in the sunshine eating his goldfish.
The soccer season is quite short-- less than one month from beginning to end. But that means 2 games per child per week. That equates to six soccer games per week-- 24 soccer games in 4 weeks. That is more soccer than I really care to sit through in a month, but it's only one month and I can do anything for a month.
And there are some darling benefits.
