The End of Soccer Season!

The last game of the season is always with mixed emotions. On one hand, it's sad that Joseph will not get to play soccer, and have that extra activity to get out extra energy, and on the other hand I'm happy about not having to drive and go to soccer three nights a week. Plus, keeping track of all the kids, is not an easy task. Joseph likes soccer quite a bit, but I'm not sure which he likes more; playing in the game, or goofing off at the sidelines. For instance at the last game we watched from the other side of the field, while Joseph went over to the water jug, got water in his cup and than sneaked over to the other team's side and dumped water over the head of another player. He did have a few good plays on the field today in his game, he enjoys playing offense. He has his own unique style of blocking the ball, he tends to throw his whole body in front of the path of the ball in order to block it, many times that means he's throwing himself on the ground in order to block the ball, it is pretty funny to watch. He was known as the "wanderer, and hider" on his team. His coach said that during the game, Joseph would kick the ball, and then he wouldn't be able to see Joseph, and all the sudden he would pop up right where the ball was. We had an enjoyable season, and look forward to soccer again next year.
