Well today at Josiah’s soccer game Stephanie and I both learned that we are very competitive. Josiah has been playing soccer this year and has come a long way. From the first game of crying on the sideline and not wanting to go in to the kid that typically scores 4 goals a game.
Well today, was way different. Josiah set out the first quarter and then played the rest of the game . . . well he was on the field. It’s almost as if he was in another world. He was more interested in playing airplanes and superheroes than soccer. I know there is a lot going on in our lives and the last thing is for Josiah to feel he messed up, but as a dad, I tried to get him to focus on the game without being one of THOSE parents. You know what I mean, yelling at every thing they did or didn’t do.
It was hard to see him play the way he did today, but I think I learned more about myself than he did about soccer! So he had an off day . . . everyone has them!
