On Saturday May 9th Parker has his last soccer game of the season. It was rescheduled twice because of the weather, so it finally happened. Parker was so excited, it was hard for him to remain calm before the game. I tried up upload a video of Parker scoring a goal, but for some reason it wouldn't let me, so I will just have to tell you all about it. Parker and 2 of his teammates started out the game. Parker had so much energy and determination that he was constantly running all over the field getting the ball. Parker scored 2 goals and he was so proud after each time he scored. He would put his arms up in the air every time he scored and would look over at Leland and I to see what we were doing. I would put my arms up in the air along with Parker and just seeing the smile on his face was priceless.
After the game was over, Parker's team, the Hornets were recognized along with all the other teams. Each player was presented with their own trophy. Parker was so excited to be getting his own trophy and having his coach say his name and having everyone cheering for him and saying his name. After the ceremony was over Leland took the boys to go eat at McDonalds.
As I sit back today thinking about the first time I took Parker to practice up until his last game it almost makes me cry. From first seeing him just run around the soccer field with his head cut off to now actually running after the soccer ball and knowing where his goal is and scoring is absolutely amazing! I can tell he is going to be a determined player and will always work hard!
His soccer coach gave Parker a little grab bag full of little treats, along with a ribbon and small trophy which make Parker feel special. I talked with Parker's coach after the game and he told me taht he knew Parker was going to be a great player when he first joined the team and that he's come a long way from when they first started. That made me feel so good as mom!
