Soccer Girl

With lots of "encouragement", we talked Hannah into playing on a Kindergarten soccer team at her school. She wasn't too thrilled with the idea because she had never played before and was scared. However, Tony and I decided to sign her up anyways because it would give her an opportunity to meet/play with new friends and learn a little about teamwork and practicing. (We also thought it would be a good opportunity for us to meet parents too).

The first practice (back during the very beginning of school) was rough at first. She wouldn't even go on the field with the other kids. So we did what any good parent does and we bribed her with ice cream. It worked!! She practiced with the team and loved it!

While she's not the best player on the team...and will quite frequently run away from the ball, she is still having fun and making progress. She even averages about 3 kicks a game!

Here is a picture from her very first practice (yay! She's smiling)! And the other is their recent team picture :)
