Today was E's first soccer game. Sadly, I do not have much to report. He was perfectly fine all the way up until we got to the field, and then as soon as he was by his team he started melting down. He didn't want to warm up with them or practice. He just sat on the field not listening. Finally we told him if he didn't do what the coach told him, he wouldn't have video games for a week - he didn't care. So then we decided to just leave, made him tell his coach he quit and went home.
I'm not sure what to do about it. I don't want him to think it's ok to quit, but I don't want him to do it if he hates it. It's just weird because he has been liking practice and kept saying he wanted to play a game instead of doing practice. Now game day comes and he wants nothing to do with it. I'm not going to fight and get mad at each other about it every week.
He said he's done forever, so I guess we're not going to push it. Maybe when he's older. Sigh.
Here are a few pictures of him in his cute uniform. The first one really sums up his attitude at the game today.
