the first tournament

R's first ever hockey tournament took place this week during March Break. He has been counting down the days, he was so excited.

His team played three games, with an hour break in between each. For the first game, R was chosen to be the goalie...

and then he was a 'regular player' as he calls it...

I sit in the stands and watch my boy in amazement. I am amazed at how big he has gotten. At how much he loves the game. At what a natural athlete he is. At the way he loves to be part of a team.

I love to watch him play hockey.

I love to watch him do anything, really.
