Dane's First Soccer Game

So, we have been wanting to get Dane into sports for awhile. But as with everything, he's a perfectionist and if he can't do it well, he doesn't want to do it at all. Obviously you can't be perfect at something on the first try, so it took some convincing to get him excited. Of course, his hesitation to play ended pretty much the second he stepped onto the field the first day of practice. Now he asks everyday if he has soccer practice and is disappointed that the answer is "no, you only have practice on Wednesdays." He actually surprised us in his game this morning. He did great as goalie (his coveted position) and stopped quite a few goals. Then when he joined the team on the field he was right there with everyone (most of the time). He ran his little heart out and was sweaty and red-faced by the end. We are very proud of him! Maybe there is a little athlete buried in there somewhere.
