Cael's first soccer game was this morning. After two practices, he was ready to take the field.
"Taking the field" being the only thing he actually did, but hey. That's more than he did in either practice, so it's a big step.
He doesn't concern himself with where the ball or the other players are, but we're hopeful maybe he'll try that next week.
On a scale of zero to an actual player, I put him somewhere between the boy who spent the entire game on the sideline hiding under his folding chair and the girl who kept chasing after the ball and then throwing herself on top of it as if it were a live grenade and she was the room's only hope.
Gratuitous warm-up shot so you can see what he'll look like one day when he actually plays:
Go, Tigers!
