As in "No Way Jose." This past weekend the boys had their first soccer games of the season. On Saturday, they had a nice little practice before the game and everything was going smoothly. But, when it was time for the game, Reed decided his talents were put to better use by riding the pine (sitting on the bench). Nolan took off and scored 12 goals! The coach had to keep sitting him out saying "hey, why don't you take a rest" which I think is code for "hey, you're too good, give the other kids a chance." Every time the ball was in play, Nolan was right on top of it, dribbling towards the goal and shooting to score.
This was Reed's view from all of the first game on Saturday and 90% of the second game on Sunday. He did get in the game on Sunday and tried to play with the other kids. The funniest part was when he got called in the game, and like the proud mama I am shouted "yea, Reed! Go, Reed, GO!" To which he responded with "Stop saying that, Mommie!!!" The rest of the game he had excuse after excuse--my leg hurts, my back is hot, and just plain old 'no'-but he did at least try for a few minutes. Maybe it's just not his thing! Hey, he is getting really good at the Michael Jackson Experience on the Wii.
Team Blue!
