World Cup Soccer

This summer was the World Cup. It took place in South Africa. Nicholas has never been a fan of soccer. This is funny to Mark and I because he loves all sports but not soccer. We even asked him several times if he would like us to sign him up for soccer. "Nope," he would say, "that is TOO HARD!" So we had pretty much given up. Then the World Cup happened. He was TOTALLY into it! When he woke up in the morning he wanted to turn on the World Cup. He was always completely on top of who was playing who and what game was on when. It was amazing to me how much a six year old could be into one sport. His favorite team was South Africa...or as Nicholas would say it, "South Efrica." I loved hearing him say that! (I also love hearing him call a boy from his old class 'Roverto' instead of 'Roberto.') Anyway, after watching soccer daily for...well, however long the World Cup lasts...Nicholas was finally convinced to try soccer. We will see how it goes. His first practice is in a week!
