Evolution of a Goalie (or the day Hannah got paid $4)

This is Hannah.  Hannah likes to play goalie- when she feels like it.


This is how Hannah was trying to block goals when the game started.  She would bend over, which worked fine if the ball came right to her.

This is Hannah's ready position the first half of the game


This is Hannah after 4 goals had been scored on her- notice the face, she is over this whole goalie thing!!

This is Hannah's ready position at the start of the second half (she is deciding if she should take me up on my offer of $1 for every goal she stops- or tries to stop- by getting on the ground)

This is the only goal scored on Hannah the second half (notice she is on the ground=$1)


$2- she actually jumped on the ball after this pic was taken

$3- By george I think she's got it :)

This is after she got back up from earning her $4.  When the game was over, we had lost 5-3, but Hannah cheered and jumped up and down as if we had won!  She flashed 4 fingers at me as she came smiling off the field, I wish I would have gotten a pic of that- she realized that she had stopped them from a 9-3 victory and that felt pretty awesome!
Hopefully, she learned that when she applies herself, she can do anything!  I'm so proud of this little girl of mine :)
