THIS will be our life for the next few months with 4 of our 7 family members devoted to a soccer team of some sort, size and color. Life revolves around the things and activities you choose to be involved in... and for a season, one of our family's choices is SOCCER!
This last Saturday we had a full day of spectating! Here the kids are finding shelter from the cold wind, while watching Mommy's second in command play her first soccer game, EVER! That's right, she is taking a break from gymnastics to give soccer a try... she did great! Thoroughly enjoyed it. She makes sure she reiterates over and over again, though, that gymnastics is her fave! Well, soccer, so sorry, you're just the unfortunate second favorite.
Both my husband and I think it is good to give kids the opportunity to try many things, activities and sports... it gives them more of a perspective so they can make persuaded informed decisions of their own about which direction to take their lives and what to make a priority.
Her team was a bit unorganized, unprepared and hadn't even had a practice prior to their first game, but they were troopers! They came out and gave the opposing team a run for it!
She played goalie along with giving every other position a try, too (I have NO idea what those are called, HA!).
So along with practices and games, we'll be busy with soccer 5 days a week for awhile... whew... this is going to be FUN!!
