We made it to the end! Shane attended every soccer practice! We celebrated ahead of time at Chic-Fil-A.
Actually, Carrie was still asleep when Shane woke up. I snuck him out the front door for breakfast, so she could sleep. Chick-Fil-A was close to the soccer fields.
Shane was fueled up and ready to go when practice started. We made it early, too!
My one complaint: There was no practice. Instead, the kids played back to back games. Shane's heart wasn't really in it.
I talked to the coach later. "What did you say to motivate him?" Shane didn't like the mud on his shoes. Coach said, "If you run it will fall off!" Brilliant! That explained Shane's strange run kicking his feet. Coach and I had a good laugh.
Shane wasn't the only kid to feel soccer fatigue. Many other kids started to drop off and fade away as time went on. An hour is a long time to ask 4, 5, and 6 year olds to focus on anything (that's not electronic!).
Shane ran around and kicked the ball some early on. He enjoyed seeing his friends and the snack at the end. C'est la vie. We enjoyed the season while it lasted. I am strongly considering signing Shane up for the Spring session. I don't know if he's old enough to do baseball or something else. Soccer was a good experience.
Plus, he big soccer ball was cool.
