Gooooaaalllll!!!!One of my great pleasures of getting home on a Friday evening is asking my 5yo old son how his indoor soccer game went. Today, for example...

"How'd ya go?"
"We won, 10-5!"
"How many you'd get?"
"Ten."

Every week is the same. Unless they get thumped by a team with some older kids in it (which they have done twice, 0-13 and 0-11), it seems to be a case of noizy jr getting the ball, evading the various enthused and not-so-enthused defenders, and putting the ball in the back of the net. Of the 60+ goals scored in the eight or so games played so far this season, my boy has scored all but three of them (one was an own goal by the opposing team, and one each to two other team-mates). The funniest moment was coming home the evening after his second game...

"How'd ya go?"
"13-0"
"How many did you get?"
"All of them."
"No way."
"Yes."

I had to confirm with the wife. Indeed, he had scored all of them.

It warms the cockles of my paternal heart.

Watch the wee lad in action (5mb - mpg).
