Last Day of Soccer
Phil played his last two games of the month-long season this morning. While he didn't score any goals and made a lot of airplane turns (wide banking turns with arm stretched out) instead of pumping his arms (plus his attention span hasn't grown much in the past four weeks), he toughed it out. I'm proud of him.
The first week he left the field a lot, missing the final quarter of the second game because he got called names. Last week he didn't back down from trash-talking. This week a boy hit him and he didn't even notice (I didn't either; the only way we know it happened is because a mom from the other team dragged the kid over to make him apologize). Athletically he made modest improvements. He did much better upping his social skills. Yay Phil!
Here are some pix from the final day of soccer:

- Ready for the ball to be kicked inbounds
- In the thick of things
- Fighting for the ball
- Go Lakers!
