Country Soccer

Country soccer. 

Well we may have a future David Beckham on our hands. Our almost three year old grandson is now playing soccer, and taking the field by storm I'm told. 

Of course, it wasn't always that way. Early on in the process he didn't appear to be highly motivated. That all changed the night one of the soccer mom's brought a large bottle of Poweade for each player. Apparently this drink of choice has taken the place of the Capri Sun from my daughter's soccer days. 

Brittany said that a few sips of the sugary beverage completely changed my grandson's attitude. Suddenly he was stealing the ball, and scoring goals right and left. He'd return for another sip between goals, and dominated the field. 

Brittany also revealed that candy seemed to be the snack of choice, and was freely distributed among the pint-sized team. I couldn't help but laugh as I thought about all the city kids that were eating organic applesauce, and orange slices chased by bottled water at their games. 

You've gotta love it!
