Avalanche

Today at soccer class they played a game called Avalanche. Basically the two coaches stood on the sides and kicked "snow balls" and the little "penguins" had to run up and down the court while trying  to avoid getting hit. If they got hit, they became a snow monster and then joined on the sidelines until all the penguins were eliminated. In both rounds, Reese was the last penguin. It was so much pressure for him to run back and forth over and over (because he was really good at dodging) while everyone tried to hit him! Sheesh! Instead of just declaring him the winner, it was like torture! It felt like a fight to the death, "Finish him!!!" Hahaha. I could tell he was super stressed out and fighting back his tears. And the other parents started to sense it, too, so we were all cheering for him telling him he was doing a great job. But it was tense. When he finally got hit, he just let it all out and started crying. It was so sad but so cute because I understood exactly how he felt. Crazy Avalanche!!!
