World Cup Fever

We are on World Cup Fever now. The fever rubs to Lucas too. His school is taking the opportunity to introduce soccer to the children. Last Monday, he was asked to go to school in football jersey instead of uniform. They had their first football workshop. A football coach from outside showed them some of the different types of kicks. He came back with terms like rainbow kick, round the world kick , etc etc. Then the homework is practise those kicks. How unconventional. He enjoys it and practise diligently. We have no goal post. so he tapes a hoola hoop to the wall and aim at the center of the loop. Every now and them I heard the door or window got hit by the ball. On Thursday, he had his second workshop. He said this time it was boring because they were taught how to dribble.

The school also make all the children participate. Each class has to take a country. Lucas has Russia and Chloe has Japan. In addition, for Lucas, each of them has to take a country. Lucas gets Ivory Coast. He insists on watching Ivory Coast against Japan at 12 midnight today (I'm not sure if it is midnight or 4am). He went to sleep at 9pm+ and set the alarm for 12 midnight!


Should I turn off the alarm???
