Last day of soccer today. It's been fun. We got off to a shaky start with Mitchell, but it only took a couple weeks for his true colors to show through his attitude. As you can see from the pictures, he even changed his mind about the uniform! He decided that he actually does have an imagination and it was fun to pretend to be a shark or a race car or a booger or whatever the heck they do out there.
Ben rocked the field with his shaggy hair and sweet soccer shoes. Although not always the most coordinated or focused player on the team, he had a great attitude and was clearly loving his coaches and the game in general.
After their last class today, I took them to McDonald's for a post-game treat. They have just discovered the concept of a drive-through and much prefer that to actually going inside (awesome!). As we sat in line, I asked what they wanted. Ben asked for his very own pop! I tried to clarify, making sure he knew he was not getting that on top of a milk shake, certain he didn't quite understand, but he was positive: a Coke is what he wanted. That's it. "I want my very own Coke like daddy drinks and I don't want to only have a sip and I don't want to have to share it." Mitchell, of course, quickly echoed the same thoughts, so a couple dollars later, we have the cheapest special treat ever! Two tiny Cokes, coming up!
