Thing One had his first scrimmage with his new soccer team yesterday. They beat the other high school 4-0, and he played well. But the kicker--no pun intended--was that the coach had him and one of the other centerbacks run the warmups beforehand (a traditional job for the team captains) and then told him to take on the captain's role as needed.
There are 25 good players on that soccer team, and he has no idea yet if he was just the captain for the one game or if he's THE captain. Even if the coach is going to pick a different boy for each game, it doesn't really matter. Thing One was the kid he tapped first, and from a confidence standpoint, that was huge. So proud of my boy.
