World cup day

Well, we got some good practice in Wednesday evening. Mike even painted a little soccer field in the yard. However, Thursday it rained & although the camp still met at the park, Justice did not want to stay. Friday we showed up again. It was world cup day & Justice was on the Germany team. He even made a German flag to bring to camp. It was raining again but they were still having the big game. Justice did not want to go play. He became a bit disruptive to the other family members trying to watch so we left.

There were 35 kids, split into 2 groups. He was with the younger kids but there were kids who were older & bigger than him & who had more experience playing. I told him he doesn't have to play soccer if he doesn't want to but not to quit just because other kids are better & have been playing longer.

He is actually very good at it and has learned a lot from the 2 days he did participate. I just hate to watch him quit & not realize his talent.
