Today was the first day of soccer, and it was a blast! I got there right as Tiffany was getting ready to take a picture of Kylie in her new uniform (a reversible blue/white jersey with the Goal logo for designating teams) and was able to join the picture, which was a big surprise for Kylie because she hadn’t realized I was there yet. After a few minutes i then went over to see Chris, Tracey, Delaney and Madelyn because they were on a different field. At first the girls didn’t realize who I was, which is sad but considering I don’t see them any where near as often as I would like to also understandable. When the coaches called the teams together I went back over to watch Kylie and see how she did. For the first half hour the team practiced various drills, like dribbling and shooting into the goal and passing; for the last half hour they played their very first soccer match against another team. They would have half the team on the field at a time and rotate out so all the children would have time on the field. While Kylie was playing she had a blast and did fantastic! She went after the ball and stayed with it, she even got a trip in! 🙂 During one of her off times Uncle Chris, Aunt Tracey, Delaney and Madelyn came over; apparently Delaney was a little put off for the moment because soccer wasn’t what she thought it was going to be. In fact at one point she said “I know I would like soccer if I wasn’t so shy.” But after watching how much fun Kylie was having she decided to she wanted to go back and see how her team was doing, and what do ya know? she decided she wanted to play after all. Everyone ended up having a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to next week.
