Blogtoberfest Day 18 ANOTHER child-related post

Last week destructoBoy came home bearing a letter requesting his presence at a Yr. 3 football friendly this weekend. This took place at a nearby village school. The Year 3 match ran concurrently with a Yr.5/6 so our troops all 'warmed up' together.

They 'warmed up' for the best part of half an hour.

Consequently by the time kick-off came around they were knackered.

Of course this did not stop destructoBoy from dashing up and down the pitch at full-pelt throughout the first half.

He had a fabulous time playing a 'proper' match.
He was so thrilled at getting to wear the school strip he really didn't care that

he scored no goals
he didn't get to be in goal
'The Abu Dabai Software Team' Yr. 3 team was trounced with a final score of 13-2.

It was only as he was sitting down so I could unpick the triplequadruple knot on his muddy boots that he mentioned Mr.C. had asked him to be captain of the team. I was a little proud.
