Josiah's Last Soccer Game

We are so proud of Josiah and how much he improved in the 6 weeks of his first soccer season.
During the first few practices and during the first game, Josiah cried and begged to never go back. He has never done anything on his own before. Isaac's always with him. Once he got the hang of venturing out and enjoying himself, we learned that Josiah is quite the athlete. He had a blast and we had a blast watching him.

Final tunnel

The coach called him the "Ghost." He said that Josiah would vanish and pop back into the game and stun us all.

He received his first medal.

Somehow they always end up together.

We never saw Isaac during Josiah's practices or games. He was usually hanging out with Pedro. After Isaac's first flag football game, he ran into Pedro. Pedro was so excited and said, "I thought I'd never see you again!!"

I love the look on Olivia's face in the photo where Josiah has the cupcake: "Hey, where's mine?!?"

Josiah, congratulations on finishing your first soccer season. I'm impressed with your first medal and your soccer ball key chain---pretty cool!!
Sounds like Josiah ended up being one of the leaders on his team.
