Actually, this wasn't just another soccer game. Eli turned a corner today. He was so much more confident and aggressive on the field. He wasn't waiting for other players to get to the ball like he has before, but he was jockeying for position and going after the ball. And did I mention that HE SCORED A GOAL?! It was his first of the season, but I bet it will not be his last.
Shelby and I took him to the park in our neighborhood late last week. We took a soccer ball with us and went over some basics with him. We only played for 30 minutes or so, but I really think this played a big part in the way he played today's game. Hopefully, we get a chance to practice some more with him before his next game.
Eli - we are so proud of you!
