Spring Soccer

(once again, better late than never...trying to catch-up with pictures, not just words.) At the beginning of the season, she kept her hands in her pocket, refused to wear shorts, and wasn't exactly sure what to do with that ball.
This is the freezing cold, raining game that the kids put on jackets for and finished, red faced and frozen. Daddy tried to keep Sweet A warm when she was off the field. The girl has no body fat.
By the end of the season, she was into shorts, and into the game. She wasn't afraid to charge in and go after the ball. (Did I mention that she was about a head shorter than most of the other players? and half as thick?)
She got some pretty good kicks in, and even took the ball up the field a few times.
We were so proud of how she stuck with the program, even when she didn't want to. She really improved her skills and was so fast and aggressive in the last game. This may be a sign of things to come! She even said she might want to play soccer again. (Although, gymnastics and dance are somewhat more appealing at the moment.) We were excited to have a free Saturday after 8 weeks! Little brother can't wait for his turn to play!!

Go Alice! I have a feeling that Charles will be a bit more aggressive when it is his turn. There's nothing like seeing your kid take a step out of their comfort zone and find something els they can be good at.
