Being Me

Last night was the second game of the tourny. The boys played really well and again, it was super fun to watch. There weren't many parents in the stands of the other team, not sure why. Our parents all sat together and had a great time being loud together.

I am just so proud of Joel and how he has come along. He scored two goals last night playing centre. At the end of the game, they choose two players from each team to receive an award. Joel won last night for "Best Sportsman Like Player."

Back in the locker room he was receiving high-fives and congratulations. He just drank it all in without saying anything. Then, he sat down on the bench for Steve to take his skates off. Leaning back on the wall he says, "I just love being me!"

Way to go Joel! I hope we can continue to instill self-confidence in all of our children.
