Christian really wanted to play soccer again this spring but our usual league with which we've played for 11 years (since Benjamin was 3) cancelled the season due to Covid. So we had to find a new league. This one is far more expensive than our old one but so far Christian has really enjoyed it. Today was his first game and he was so nervous. He kept complaining his stomach hurt from the fear and wondering why nervousness makes your stomach sick. When it was all over he admitted that all his nervousness had been unnecessary and he had a lot of fun. All day afterwards he kept saying, "Wow, soccer was so fun today!" I'm so glad he's enjoying it. I think his coach is a little bit overly harsh on the kids, but Christian came home that first day telling me that "The coach is really nice" and "That's just constructive criticism." So, I guess if he's okay with him, I will be too. Christian's strength is defense. The coach put him in as a forward for a few minutes and when he panicked while taking the ball down the field and passed the ball to no one, he quickly switched him back stating, "You're better at defense, let's try that again." Christian said he's much happier at defense and agreed with the coach.
