Go Nate, Go!

Nate played his first official soccer game today. After several years of watching Dad and playing in the back yard with Mom Nate went out on his own. It was absolute madness on the field; packs of roving 3 and 4 year old boys and girls chasing the ball on a tiny field surrounded by shouting parents. I had to remind Nate a few times to keep his hands off the other kids - he was bear-hug tackling them when they got in his way.

Scoring a goal was a very proud moment for him. He ran all the way across the field to us, arms extended, with both thumbs pointing toward the sky. The smile on his face was priceless.
