The last game

Today was Guillermo's last soccer game for the season. His team did great, really. They haven't done that well all season, but today they rocked. Who knows if they won. Both teams scored too much to keep track, plus I was busy chasing Maya off the field or away from the cake. 

Guillermo was a rock star on defense. Even people on the sidelines were saying so. He's never been one for offense, but he'll charge right into the player with the ball on the opponent's team and kick it away from him or her. Anyway, he was doing great and then all of a sudden he ran over to me in tears. Apparently he fell down (I missed that) and when he fell down, another player started laughing at him, he said. He was so upset and it took a lot to calm him down, but eventually he went back into the game. 

The sponsor of Guillermo's team, Coldwell Bankers, has been great all season. Some of the agents have brought snacks and gatorade to the games and today they brought a cake, balloons, and certificates for the kids.  Maya saw that cake, still in a box, at halftime and I couldn't drag her away from the it. "Cake. Yumm. Maya like." She stared, then would move away and then wander back to the cake to look at it. Toward the end of the game, I distracted her and then she joined the team for their final team cheer. Then she and the others devoured the cake.
