Gabriel recently finished a local soccer tournament in Laveen. Last year he played in one at the YMCA and I am amazed at the difference one year made in his interest and ability to play! The first time around we pretty much had to cohorse him to play. Three out of six games he stood by the sidelines and the last three, he aimlessly chased the ball. Not so this year!
This time he was very excited to go to his weekly practice and looked forward to the Saturday morning games all week long. He learned a few rules, actively pursued the ball and defended his team's goal.
