stuck in the net

so at last night's soccer game--to which we had all kinds of fans--joshua had a minor setback. he was putting his time in as goalie, because he told the coach he needed a rest. eventually, lo and behold, the hive of soccer players came his way. of course, like the rest of the kids, when joshua is goalie it is prime time to play in the net. unfortunately this meant that when he saw them coming and tried to go after the ball, his hand was stuck in the net. he gave it a very valiant effort, but to no avail. a goal was scored. what makes it even better, is that the goal was scored by his own teammate while all the parents are yelling "other way eli!" it was great.
now i love this picture because of the sweatbands on his wrists. these were a gift from his aunt lorri who was at the game last night. joshua loves these things, and so spent the entire game swinging his arms around like this. then he would look our way and wipe his wrist across his forehead, just making sure we noticed how cool he was. we noticed.
