And So It Begins ....
D started soccer today. She's playing on a U5 team through PWSI. She is the only girl and when asked on Wednesday what the team should be called she replied "Fairy Princesses." Unfortunately, the team decided on Sharks instead. She insists when we cheer we say "Go Fairy Princess Shark and other Sharks!"
Today's game was a blast for her to play and us to watch. It was a little like herding cats as the coaches tried to get the kids to follow and kick the ball. D is used to playing just with us and had trouble realizing she could (and should) kick the ball away from somebody else. She said "It was GREAT!" and can't wait until the next practice.
B and I are anxious to see how she grows as a player this season. Most importantly we want her to enjoy being a part of a team and have fun.
