Macie just played her last Pre-K indoor soccer game last weekend. Her first game was kind of rough...she was really aggressive at first, then had a complete meltdown and refused to play the second half because she "wasn't getting enough turns!" But by the next game she was good and played great...according to her she scored 7 goals that game! :)
They played about 6 games with a practice each week as well. One of the games was kind of scary when Macie and the coach's son Paul collided and Paul hit his head on the floor. His other mom was holding him while he was crying it out and all of the sudden he went completely limp, unconscious, and blue. His mom started yelling for someone to help. After I realized what was happening my first reaction was to start thinking about the CPR steps! Luckily, as quickly as it happened Paul started to gain consciousness and get some of his color back, no CPR necessary! His mom called 911 anyway and the paramedics came and took him to the ER. While we were waiting for the EMTs to arrive my mother-in-law and I were asking Paul some questions...he was just smiling and answering so cute...I got a little teary eyed thinking about how scared I would be if it was my own baby!
Anyway, Paul ended up having a concussion, but there's nothing they really do for it, so after observing him for awhile they sent him home...thank goodness he's okay!
Other than that, it was fun to watch the kids play soccer. Sometimes they had no idea what goal they were trying to get the ball into, but they had fun, and Macie absolutely loved playing and looked forward to every game and practice!
