Bend It Like Dalton

Dalton had his first soccer game today. I guess I can now officially say that I'm a soccer mom. Dalton scored the 1st goal of the game for his team. I was really surprised. I honestly wasn't sure if he would even score at all during the season. Dalton doesn't have a very aggressive style of play and I'm always trying to encourage him to get in there and mix it up with the other kids to try to get to the ball, but I think I realize his strategy now. He'll hang out at the edge of the pack of kids going after the ball and when someone kicks the ball out of the pack, he can go after it on a breakaway and try to score. What a great strategy! He's a genius! Dalton is having a lot of fun playing and understands the whole teamwork thing better than he did on that first day of practice which I previously posted about. Below is a quick video of Dalton scoring his first goal. I was pretty pumped about him scoring!
