Jack had his third soccer game last weekend (Sat. Sept 22, 2007) and scored all 3 goals for his team! I was so incredibly proud of him. I don't think I ever scored a goal in 10+ years of playing soccer, so you can imagine how I felt to be out there on the field with him when he did it. The week before that he got his first goal, but he was way more confident and aggressive this time and really went after the ball. The first goal was very impressive. He dribbled out of a pack of kids and kicked it hard right into the middle of the goal. The second one was a long kick from about mid field and a kid on the opposing team actually tapped it before it went it, but the third one was all him. It was another long one from about 20 feet out, but he kicked it right at the goal and it rolled in. I don't think he has any idea how awesome that is! He was trying hard to go after the ball and he got tripped up near the end of the game and rolled over and got grass all over himself and started to cry... So I let him sit out the rest of the game. He was still kind'of whimpering as we were getting ready to leave, and some old man we'd never seen before came up to him and said "Boy, you're a real fine soccer player. Keep up the good work!" Jack perked up right away and said, "Did you see that first goal I made???"
It was great!
