Catching up with David

Our firstborn seems to have stepped out from under our wings and directly into life. David has started kindergarten, started soccer and started making friends outside of our choosing. This is not to say that he's choosing bad friends - far from it! - but he's now got friends outside of family and church.
At school, David is blowing us away with his love of reading and math. He is reading EVERYTHING! Similarly, he's a math machine! He truly loves a challenge where he can show off his abilities.
That same competitive spirit carries onto the soccer field. I am so proud of the way David plays soccer. Whether it be pride in the way David never complains when he gets the short end of the stick regarding playing time (because he's the coach's son) or whether it be the way David ALWAYS looks to pass first (which is almost unheard of at this level) or whether it be David's streak of at least one goal in every game he's played in, I am very proud of him.
