Once again I have our weekend update. As usual we have a soccer game. Joshua is much more involved in the sport than Tyler. Josh puts in a lot of effort and determination and he really seems to enjoy the game. The soccer team has improved each week and it really shows. There isn't as much crowding around the ball and we've added a loose defense.
Joshua spent a quarter playing defense which made me wonder if he understood the concept. He is supposed to stay in his half and of course he would come way out into the offensive side. Then the other team would get the ball and come very close to scoring a goal then out of nowhere Josh would come in and kick the ball away! It was remarkable.
Another surprise is Josh's role as cheerleader/ team player. There was a moment when Josh's teamate scored a goal, Josh ran up to him and gave him a big hug. It looked like a professional sports moment where the team celebrates hugging each other. Josh would pat the other players on the back and try to give high fives. The team played awesome and scored 5 goals. Josh kept updating me on the score.
Here is one of Josh's many gestures to his team.
