Playing SOCCER!
Gabe has been counting down the days to his first game. This was a great day for him for many reason,s first it was a "lunch day" at school (only two per week and he loves eating with his friends), Second it was a Thursday in general which means his best girlfriend Samantha was at school today, and lastly it was the beginning of the most talked of event in our house since May sign-ups...the offical start of soccer. Although the build up was mounting the excitment turned into fear as he put on the uniform for real and walked onto the field. Gabe seemed to really enjoy the game although it took him a while to understand that it was okay to run up and try to kick the ball away from the other team. The first time I yelled in true soccer mom fashion, "Go Gabe Go", he ran off the field and sat on the sidelines with Grandpa. I had to promise that I wouldn't yell too loud again for him to get back it!
His cousin Alex did great too. Alex made more contact with the ball in one game then Owen did his whole last season. He was always smiling, although Don joked that he did alot of standing, and he said to me during half time that he "loved soccer because it is so much fun".
