Today was Dylan's first soccer game. I have to say that it's pretty hilarious watching 3-4 year-olds run around the field rather oblivious to the concept of playing a game of soccer. It's amusing until your child starts to cry because the other team has the ball and shoots a goal. "I don't like the red team. They're bad guys!" Not quite what I was hoping he'd learn from this experience. We are obviously working on teaching him that it's a game and it's meant to be fun for everyone. They get the ball, then you get a turn. We're all friends! It's fun dammit!! I think it was all just a bit overwhelming, but am hopeful that with more practices and games it will get better. At the end of it all he did say he had fun, so that's a good sign I guess...
