Mother Teresa said, "If we judge people we have no time to love them."
It is hot, hot, hot. After school today, we put on our swim suits and sprayed each other with the hose. It was refreshing. Cubbie bear thought it would be good to wear sweats to soccer. He doesn't do cold well. He was drenched in sweat after his sister's practice. Both cubbies are playing soccer. They are really good at it. I was directing Dancing Cubbie to pass the ball, let her teammates have a chance with the ball. Her assistant coach came up to me after practice and said, "She gets better with every practice. She is a natural. Let her take it to the goal, we need the points." Here I am trying to teach teamwork.....she is naturally good at so many things. She could dominate, but in the long run she'll wear out if she doesn't learn how to give others opportunities, even if it is the least of players. It is challenging to teach teamwork in a world so wanting to win. Maybe if we get some points and if she goes others will have their fires burn within them and be pushed a bit. Right now, I am just a parent on the sidelines. I am not the coach or the assistant so I will let them coach and I will continue to cheer for everyone. I'll let you know what happens.
