B had his second soccer game tonight. It would have been his third but it was cancelled last week due to the fields being too wet and muddy (it’s been raining several days a week for about three or more weeks now). His first game he didn’t play at all because he didn’t want to go out. They do five-minute rotations and so his name came up a few times but each time he refused. The coach asked him if he was just going to watch for a little while and so then he latched onto that and kept telling me, "I’m just going to watch for a bit ‘cause I don’t know how to play soccer." Tonight though with encouragement from S, myself, the coach, and another parent, he went out and did some running around.

At first, they lined up to practice goals but he kept leaving the line just as he was getting near the front and then when he returned to it, he went to the end (and rightly so) and never actually made it to the front.

Proof he actually did play (#3), before we got rained out:

The make-up game from last week is on Saturday but it falls smack in the middle of his nap, which he still needs very much. I’m undecided as to whether or not we’ll go.
