It is time for Spring Soccer once again. Daniel played in his first game of the season this weekend with mostly the same team from the Fall, plus a few new players.
He had a great time out there on that field. It's like he hadn't taken off the last 3 months at all. But doesn't he look tons older in this picture? He has grown up on me overnight.
Right after half, a kid on the other team stepped on Daniel's fingers when Daniel fell down. Thankfully nothing was broken! (What can I say - I'm a little paranoid now after him breaking his elbow last year in soccer and Ashley breaking her ankle in the Fall.) While we were talking him into shaking it off, I told him what would really make him feel better would be to go out and score a goal on the other team. I didn't think he heard me in between his tears, but what do you know... he went out and scored! And then he scored again! And again! Three times in a row! You've never seen a happier boy. He was quite proud of himself. And no, he didn't mention the finger again.
Daniel ended the game with 5 goals in all. It was a great game to start the season. It's too bad that he must wait another 3 weeks for the next game after Spring Break. But don't worry, I'm sure he will be ready to play.
