It's finally here!

It's been 223 days since the countdown began, and its really finally here!  We're talking about Shanghai American School Soccer Day----the day that all the international schools in Shanghai come together for an all day soccer tournament.  For Tyson, there has been as much hype and anticipation for this event as waiting for Christmas!  Every day for months, Tyson has been asking me when the day will finally arrive, and every day I would do a quick "mom estimation" for him until one day he told me I had already used that number the week before!  The very next day, (223 days ago to be exact),  we grabbed a calendar,  and pegged the soccer date.  Since then, Tyson has tracked his upcoming event faithfully crossing out each day until his big day finally arrived........

And with a good 223 days to plan, Tyson had just enough time to decide on the perfect soccer day treat for his classmates....

So with the day finally here and soccer treats made,  let the games begin......

Thanks to Grandma Copeland for making a comfy "soccer day" blanket for us to enjoy the games, and eat our picnic lunch on.  It made for an awesome soccer day just as Tyson had imagined. 

We loved cheering for Tyson and his fabulous soccer moves on the field, while at the same time enjoyed watching a lot of excitement off the field as Tyson's classmates loved and hovered over "Little Tyson's"  every move.  

Thanks for a great day Tyson!  And until next year's soccer day, let the countdown begin!!
