The one with the football match


Our team is in the blue!

This morning I went with my mentor, Chus, and her family to her eldest son's (Antonio) football match.  Two of my other students, Nacho and Pablo also play for the same team.  Unfortunately, Nacho got a red card and was expelled from the match for talking back to the ref.  During one of the private lessons that I do with Antonio (son) and Antonio (father), I had them teach me about football, the rules, etc., so it was nice to see him play and watch it all in action.  Chus also has two other children, Celia (10) and Mario (7), who are soooooo adorable.  Mario just talks and talks and talks, and I tried to understand, but it isn't exactly easy with the little kids.  Celia is autistic, and I just love her.  She and I spent most of the morning smiling at each other until she came up to me, gave me a side hug, and then plopped down into my lap and held both my hands.  It was AWESOME! I just love kids, and it was the best.
