Matteo playing defense

As is becoming customary - Saturday morning was soccer.  This week Matteo learned how to play defense - as he has scored 19 goals in three games, I think the coaches want to (rightfully so) give other players a turn.  Hence, I taught Matteo that when playing defense he is not supposed to go beyond the white halfway mark.  

In the below video you will see a boy in black dribbling the ball down and Matteo (yellow) comes upon the boy to his right and watch Matteo stop the boy from scoring AND dribble the ball ..... 

Sadly, then see the moment Matteo steals the ball in front of our goal two boys collided heads resulting in black and blue eyes (we know b/c the boy in black is in our class).

An action packed game for sure.



After the game, and i"m sure due to his amazingness at playing defense, I treated Matteo (per his request) to a ring pop at the local shack.  Matteo & Chloe May loved the ring pops (never had them before) - and I proceeded to run my errands/returns as I had them all lined up.  Next thing I know, Chloe May throws up monsters of puke all over herself, the carriage and anything within touching distance.  Needless to say we went home, where after a 1 hour nap she was back to her old(?) self again.  Maybe she had what Matteo had last week and well it just  had to come out.
