GOOOAAAALLLLL

Zeke had a soccer game last night.

IT WAS AWESOME!

The other team was bad. Really bad. They all looked to be about Porter's age/size. There was one kid about Zeke's height, but not his same size. (Not many kids are Zeke's size) Well, Zeke finally got his chance to break away. There were only 4 kids there so Zeke got to play the whole game. He scored in the first couple minutes and then there was no stopping him after that. I didn't yell once for him to pay attention to the ball. He was there waiting. He would kick away from the other team and then take it down and score. After each goal he would come over to us and count out how many goals he had on his fingers. It was hilarious! He scored 11 goals. Actually he scored 12 if you count the one he scored right after half time when they switched which way they were going.

It was actually really hard for me to let him go. I'm sure the other team thought he was ruthless. They had no idea this was the first game he had scored in. He was using his body to get in there next to the ball. He even sent one of his teammates flying a couple times on accident. I kept wanting to yell for him to let the other team have it for a minute, but that would have been too confusing.

So, we let him score 11 goals... and he loved it!
