Adlani has finally found his mojo on the soccer field, after 4 seasons of bribing him with donuts and having him ask to go home in the middle of several games. When I submitted his soccer registration, the system wouldn’t let me move him up to the U-8 league because of when his birthday falls. Usually his birthday means that he’s one of the youngest kids…for this season it means that he’s one of the oldest.
I think he needed this season to gain some confidence and realize that he’s a good soccer player. It can’t be easy sharing the spotlight with Aliya, and it will get even harder next season when Norah starts playing. But Adlani has been scoring several goals per game, without donut rewards. Next season will be a whole different ball game, but for now, he’s a superstar.
