Logan's Soccer Spring Season

The first weekend in May, Logan completed another soccer season. I love the idea of being a "soccer mom." I could watch my kids play sports all day every day. I get really anxious and cheer and take a million pictures. That's the joys of being a mom. This year Logan played with almost all of the same kids from last year, except they had a different coach. It was her first time coaching but she did a great job. This year they were gray and called themselves the Wolf Pack.

The team went undefeated for the entire season. The final tournament day they won their first game and lost the championship game in a shoot out. It was rough. The kids had never practiced doing a shoot out because we didn't know kids that young did them. Lots of tears were shed and Logan himself cried and was angry when he realized that a loss meant they weren't bringing home the big trophy. We tried to teach the life lesson that not everyone gets a trophy but after such an awesome season, it was a hard pill to swallow.

Good news was we went to the team banquet at Peter Piper Pizza after the season ended and Coach had brought them their runner-up trophies. Logan was a happy kiddo then. We are so proud of him. He is still learning the game but I do feel like he's trying more and more while still having fun.

Logan got to play goalie in a few games.

After a game Logan and I went to lunch and ran some errands. 

 He's learning to me more aggressive. A little bribe may or may not have encouraged that aggressiveness. 

 We started a tradition of "Sandwich Saturday" which meant we went out for yummy sandwiches every Saturday after his games. Daddy's new favorite place is Firehouse Subs so we ended up there a few times. 

 By the time we got to lunch the tears had stopped and the anger from the loss had mostly subsided. He didn't want a sandwich but a few Funyun chips helped do the trick.
