My friend throws the ball high in the air.
I keep my eyes on it as it comes down fast.
I stretch out my hands and take a deep breath.
Plop! The ball lands right in my hands!
I smile and shout, “I caught it!”
My friend cheers and gives me a high five.
We throw it back and forth again and again.
Sometimes I drop it, but that’s okay!
Catching a ball takes practice and focus.
I feel proud every time I catch it!
