Soccer!!

Abby is on our neighborhood kids soccer team. They are the youngest group, mostly made up of those who have never played, ages 5-6.

She has refused to practice soccer with us on the field in front of our house, but FINALLY overcame her nervous, shy side and fully took part in her first team practice this past Friday. 

This is her first time playing a sport!!

 

These are the great moments!! A smile and some action.....

 Then there was the typical nose-picking, fussing with her pants antics that drove us nuts from the sideline.....

 All in all she had a great first practice. They practice weekly in August and games start on Saturdays in September!!

Lessons learned for practice #2:

*She needs hair clips or ponytails to keep her hair out of her face

*Tuck her shirt into her shorts

*And a well lubed nose of Vaseline to prevent picking....uggghh
