Soccer Season

After taking a few years off to grow, Gabe is once again playing soccer this year.  He has enjoyed playing and has comfortably snuggled into the position of goalie.  He enjoys being the last defense and has taken his role seriously.  One week, there was a terrible wind storm which was pushing the ball all over the place.  A kick came toward the goal, and Gabe tried to catch it, but the wind grabbed it and it bounced over his head.  He didn't give up, he chased it down and flicked it out with his hand just before it crossed the goal line.  It was a great save.  After the game, he commented, "I always wanted to do that!"  He is becoming very good at stopping the ball.  Yesterday, they didn't score any goals while he was goalie!
