She was a big fan of the snacks afterwards, though. It's not for the love of the game with 4 year olds. It's for the love of the snacks.
After her very first game Olivia made a very bad decision in the world of cookies. Olivia picked a back of chocolate chip cookies. After devouring the bag and her drink it was time for bed. We tucked the kids in, kissed them goodnight then went off to finish some housework.
After about a half hour I went upstairs to go to bed myself but thought I would check on the kids one last time. Finn was fast asleep holding his stuffed monkey and his creepy pillow with Scott's and my picture on it. Don't ask, it was a gag gift that went wrong and we ended up with it. He loves it and has to sleep with the "Mommy and Daddy Pillow" every night.
When I peeked into Olivia's room she was still awake. I told her how proud I was of her and tucked her in one last time. Her response was "Ohh, I should have picked the Oreo's". Her night was ruined because of a poor choice in cookies. Priorities!
In addition to the snacks the coaches gave all of the girls on the team a trophy. Olivia is so proud!
