This weekend the kids had their first soccer games of the season. Noah's game was first. This was his first game in two seasons, so I wasn't sure what to expect. He did great! He played forward during the first quarter and was really aggressive. It was nice to see him be "in the game" physically and mentally. In years past, he could have been picking daisies. In the second half, he played Goalie. He was very focused and kept his eye on the ball. He did not let the other team score. His team won 4-0. I can't wait to see him play again.
Samantha is our little soccer play. She has come along ways over the past few years. She generally is very fast and aggressive. The day before her game, she had to go to Urgent Care for a sinus infection. She was playing mid-field and did a ton of running, but was a little slower than normal. As if things weren't rough enough, she ended up injuring (likely fracturing) her big toe. Apparently, her toe met up with someone else's shinguard. When Sam complained about her toe initially, I thought it would probably get better in time. What can they do for a broken toe anyways?
Evan and Sam went back to the soccer fields to Ref their first game. They looked so cute in their referee shirts! After the game, they came home and Sam took off her shoe. Her toe was extremely swollen and was quite painful. We decided we should take her to urgent care, just in case. They send her over to the ER. They could not find any major breaks or fractures, but they said that it could be a fractured ligament or a small fracture. It looks as if soccer is out for at least a few days. At first (before the x-rays) they told her, she may be out for 4-6 weeks. She heard 46 weeks and began to tear up. Evan was the one that took her, as we thought it would be a quick trip to the urgent care. I really hated not being with her.
