So the last couple months Gideon has had his first experiences with playing soccer. He was very unsure the first game and cried for half the game. Once he got to know his coach and teammates better he enjoyed it alot more. He has gotten to goalie a part of 2 different games and got scored on once and stopped a goal once. He has been getting a little more confident with each game and practice. He has enjoyed learning how to kick, pass and hit the ball with his head. One game he was being a little more aggressive then he usually is and got knocked down. He scraped up his elbow pretty good, but kept on playing. I patched him up during a quarter break, but then he got hurt again when the biggest boy on our team accidently kicked the ball hard into Gideon's stomach. He totally lost his breathe and took a break with me for 5 minutes. I was really proud of him for going back out there after these 2 incidents in the same game. It has been fun to watch him learn.
