Max and Hazel had their first soccer games of the season (and ever) Saturday. Hazel’s team played first and she was thrilled to have scored a goal. They don’t keep score, but team Unicorn Sparkles felt pretty good about their performance on the field. Hazel felt even better about the after-game snacks and playground time.
Max’s team, the Thunderbolts, started off slow but got into a groove as a team by the second half. Max is enjoying playing defense. He was nervous before the game (and a bit during the game), but he did well and said it was really fun. He decided he needed to be faster, so he and Ben have some sprint workouts planned. Hazel feels satisfied with her speed at the moment, but I bet she joins in anyway.
We’ve all been knocked out by COVID/colds/fevers, etc. over here for a while but are starting to feel like ourselves again. We’ve had lots of slow mornings and snuggles and books and lego building the past few weeks. Next weekend’s games are at 9 (which will be challenging for a few of the Pimentels), but that means we’ll have time for a bit of adventuring afterward!
