Nate soccer update- tremendous progress

A quick update for those following the action packed Lasers under 6 soccer season. You may recall from earlier entries that Nate had a rough start to the season- bursting into tears at game one and refusing to play. I am happy to report that Nate is strongly in the running for most improved player this season. At last weekend's game (game #3) not only did he get on the pitch (happily with no bribes or protests) but he actually played in the match. "Played" might be a tad complimentary- as he often could be spotted standing still zoning out -completely unaware that the game was still going on around him. While not the most aggressive player he did make some brilliant kick ins. Good news and bad- Nate scored a goal (!!!!) .....bad news he kicked it into his own team's goal. Good thing they don't keep official score at this age (unofficially we got slaughter...I think it was something like 20-1). I might make up huge arrow signs for all the parents to hold so we can get our team to head in the correct field direction.

Overall some excellent progress but still some room for improvement!
