But I Smile Anyway…

I have one incredibly excited Lil Man on my hands!
Yesterday, after school, he came running into my classroom.
“Mummy, mummy, look!” waving a piece of paper in my face.
I looked, and here was his first invitation to play for the school in his first ever football match!
This really is BIG news for him!!
He’s been in training with the school football club, and basketball club, and never been chosen, and he also trains with a local team, where he has been more or less promised a place in the squad next time, but not yet…
And, yes I know I’m his mum, but you know, he really is quite good. People always underestimate him as he is quite small in stature compared to the others his age, yet even they are pleasantly surprised when they see him in action, and recently, this has been getting him down.
So down, in fact, that at Karate on Tuesday, he said he wanted to quit school football, “cos no one thinks I’m good enough anyway…”
So this piece of paper couldn’t have come at a better time!
Here’s hoping his finger is better so he can play, and wow the school, and his peers, too!
Failing that, he’ll ALWAYS wow me!
