Ha no doubt!
Part of our tricky spot is that our most skilled players are largely actually our 3rd graders, so while a couple actually play and pass well, they are sometimes muscled off the ball by older kids. It's a coed league and we do have on average older girls, which is nice a couple are fairly grown up and one in particular is pretty athletic, so there isn't any 5th grade boys running over 3rd grade girl issues. Save for the one younger girl I mentioned who i put in goal at an inopportune moment, we have a pretty flat team in terms of skill. Last year, I coached in the 1-2 league and had both a number of the best players in the league and kids who I literally had to sprint onto the field to untangle from the net at times.
Selfishly, I like the age gap for my son. He will really benefit from playing against bigger, better players. My town isn't a soccer stronghold really and in the younger leagues, he was often much better at ball control than other players, so he often didn't have to really accelerate or make decisions quickly as many of the kids defending him were kicking a ball for the first time in their lives and if he dribbled around them, they might just wander off. This will be good for him.
Anyway, I felt dumb, but it's fine. Plenty of good to take away and plenty of things emerged to practice.

Baby's first trip (and hike) to Many Glacier...he did super well. Slept in his pack and play with a noise machine about the same as at home, did fine with the ~3 hours in the car each way, didn't mind being carted around on mom/dad's chest.
The lake view rooms at the Many Glacier Hotel are always super special
Almost thought we were going to break our perfect streak of seeing a Moose every time we do this hike...but this gal was there on the way back:

Don't worry, that's a crop from a photo shot on a 200mm equivalent lens...
...but even then after watching for a moment I very much felt "it is time to go now" as more people started to wander down the trail.
I've seen enough tourists do dumb shit around moose that I don't want to be there as a crowd forms.

Persevere? And see a doctor if it persists. Thing #1 was a pretty strong puker for a while. But it didn't meet the definition of projectile because it wasn't a certain number of feet. A good pediatrician with a sense of humor was what got us through.

Fatherhood anonymous; an open discussion on being a dad.
Heh. New guy and yes, if persists more than 3 or 4 days, get a prof appt. But overall, a few days of vomit on everything is par for the course.
And the amplitude for ‘median’ under 16mo is crazy FWIW. You and partner will buffer the worst swings for the first couple years.

3 is the magic number. Didn’t get there myself.
2 is awesome.
1 is the loneliest number. Other than zero.Kill all the telemarkers
But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers

Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

Ours both developed what we suspect were mild cow's milk protein intolerance/allergies for a time (have since gone away). If my wife had even a small amount of dairy, the milk proteins would end up her breastmilk for a few days after and the kids would invariably be fussy/gassy/spitting up. We thought it might just be lactose at first, but even low/no-lactose dairy products would cause it. Never got tested or anything, just kept our meals dairy-free. Every once and a while we would re-test and when there were no reactions, decided we were in the clear. ymmv (or if mom is already dairy-free, look down a different road)

Also, broccoli/cabbage (cruciferous veggies) eaten by mom can get into the breastmilk and cause problems, but by us it was mostly gas.

Pediatricians are wizards, at least the good ones, so that's where I'd go first.

I love that we are almost exactly two weeks behind you. Also dreading that. What's curious to me is how he can be super reactive to some things that I would never expect would be issues, and totally non-reactive to other things. Still - I'm looking forward to being able to take him into public spaces with a little bit more immune defense.

I always give my kids candy and the doc office gives little toys so they get pumped about shots.

A good ped office will tag team the multi shot visits.

In our case the first couple of shots led to the most ear piercing shrieks I've ever heard. At the last visit it was completely different, she was distracted and didn't even notice the first one. When the second one went in she yelped and smacked the nurse on the side of the head. No crying, just this angry look, and everyone in the room laughing. She looked so offended.
Expect some fussing the rest of the day and sometimes the next, some of the shots make them feel like ass. This was after the last round, once we got home she got really whiny and clingy, even the dog couldn't get away from her:

He said distract, not terrorize!
Anything that would appeal to a cat appeals to a toddler. Infants are less predictable. Food works well in general, especially new stuff that you could expect them to like. The first time I gave little Miss B chocolate was to distract her so her mom could cut her fingernails. It worked wonders until she nipped some skin.
