Poor Henry was sick again today so he ended up at the pediatrician's office :(  Daddy took him since I had to coach Delia's soccer game.  The office was behind (not a big surprise for a Saturday morning) so we had to trade off Henry duty so John could go to JGray's soccer game.  We came home with a prescription for Zofran (anti-nausea medicine) and instructions to try Pedialyte and the Zofran to see if he perked up.  Thank goodness he did, so hopefully Sunday will be a puke-free day.

As far as soccer is concerned, our games were at opposite ends of the spectrum.  Delia's game could be described using words like "uncle, slaughter, and white flag."  Even though the other team only had 5 players (one of which cried the entire game), we could not get the ball in the goal.  They, on the other hand, had absolutely no trouble scoring on us.  It was a very very very long 40 minutes.  I tried my best to stay positive (and hopefully I succeeded) and tried to keep coaching the entire time.  To the girls' credit, they hustled the entire game.  Kept on running and going after the ball.  They were very tired by the end, but I'm proud of them.  Now to re-think the game plan for next week...

JGray's game was great with lots of goals, hustle and strong defense.  I wasn't able to since Henry was still puny and needed a nap, but I heard from John and Coach G's wife that JGray played great.  He's one of the (if not the) fastest kid on the field.  What he lacks in soccer skills, he makes up for in speed and hustle and stamina.  The kid can run and run and run without getting tired.  He scored one goal, had two assists and some great defensive play.  It's so fun to watch him play.
