I really debated posting this but decided I needed to record this for future scrapbooking pages. Life is never dull with Mr. Xavier. He had his second soccer game this weekend. He is definitely getting more comfortable on the field which means he's more intense in his playing. He scored two goals on Saturday and though he didn't jump up and down I could see the small smile of satisfaction on his face. Anyways, another boy on his team was disappointed that he didn't get to score a goal and was feeling a little sad. In between the third and fourth quarter the coach tried to cheer him up by getting him to run around the field. He said, "Let's see how fast you can run!" The boy took off running across the field to the other side then turned to come back to the coach. At the same time, Xavier says, "I can run fast too!" and takes off running. Can you see where this is going? Both boys were so intent on their speed they weren't watching WHERE they were running...HEAD ON COLLISION. They both went down and parents came running. Xavier walked away with a goose egg and bruise on his forehead. The other boy was bleeding from everywhere and got a ride in a Marysville ambulance. Poor Xavier felt terrible! He's asked about his teammate almost every hour since the incident. He's asked to pray for him at every meal and bedtime. Thankfully, we talked to the parents today and the boy is healing with a few stitches and a fat lip. What's next?
The reluctant Sharks finished their game.
Ambulances are really cool to three year olds until they know the person inside.
