Jake's last soccer game was this morning. Okay, everyone breathe a collective sigh of relief. Whew, we're done.
Apparently, soccer is not Jake's sport. We didn't push him to play, he really did want to join the team. However, once he got out there, he decided he didn't like it after all. In fact, we spent each morning before the games hearing things like, "I hate soccer! I wish soccer didn't exist! I don't want to play soccer!"
So when Jake didn't want to play today at the game, we said fine. He sat with us on the sidelines. He has been sick, and as Ike pointed out, it was less stressful for us with him not in the game. Maybe next year we'll just go watch soccer games, instead of having Jake play.
The two important things that needed to happen did happen for us this season, however. No, it's not that Jake learned the importance of teamwork or how to dribble the ball down the field. It's that we 1) got his picture (and it's adorable) and 2) got his trophy.
See? The important things.
Now we'll move on to karate, which he actually looks forward to every week and practices at home. And perhaps someday soon we'll be fencing, too. (Thanks for the link, Woody.)

Don't feel bad, Emi hated it too. She did the whole "Uck, I hate soccer!" thing before the games. But like you, we atleast got the cute picture and her treasured trophy! Better luck with karate. We're trying dancing and cheerleading first. I swear, she was the one who picked those!!
I think it is good for them to try things at least once. This way you find out what they like and what they don't! Hopefully Karate will be a better success.
First fencing, than piracy! I am so excited!
