Today was E's first soccer game. As expected there was a lot of hilarity on the field (it's 5 and 6 year olds) but E's team scored the only goal and my little goalie blocked an attempt by the other team. GO ZEBRAS!
About the team name:
Last night at soccer practice, the team mom asked the kids to throw in suggestions for their team name. Since their colors are black and white, she encouraged them to think of animals that are black and white. E, in a first, immediately threw out "ZEBRA!" I was proud that he stepped up and offered an option, as he's usually quieter at the start of new experiences. In addition to zebra, there was a bid for penguins, pandas and snow leopards (by a very persistent little one). They voted and Zebras won by one vote. There were some woots, some tears, and what I thought would be demands for a recount by the Snow Leopard contention.
