I thought signing the kids up for soccer might be a great way for them to meet some new friends and start getting to know people around town. It seems like, again, things are rather relaxed, but we figured it all out, got shin guards for everyone and shoes & socks for Katie - with one day notice.
We had to drive north to get these items and on the way I told Katie she had her first practice tonight. Of course, her first response was that she was so nervous, gets quiet, says again how nervous she is, more quiet....then change of subject.
As she is trying shoes on at the sporting goods store, I can see that she is getting a little excited. Maybe its the shoes. Maybe the pink socks. The shin guards - who knows. So she gets both shin guards on and puts on her new shoes - does a fake kick - and says, "Soccer. BOOM!" and smiles from ear to ear!
Need less to say, after we got home tonight she must have said 8 times how much she loves soccer.
Hunter and Ben were both able to practice with her as well. Ben was great at skirting around everyone and when Hunter took his hands out of his pockets, he was good and getting into it too. I think mostly Ben just likes wearing his "chin guards"!!
