Go, Team Mercury!



On our 3rd try of signing up for soccer, Emma is finally getting to try it out (it was cancelled the other times). We had no idea what she'd think of it and she hasn't exactly shown interest in sports... let's say it was highly entertaining. :) At her first practice, she was getting circled by seasoned 6 & 7 year olds who had clearly been in soccer since they were toddlers. She twirled her hair as she stood there trying to figure out what to do. At her first game, I was trying to explain to Josh that her coach had asked her to stand on the sidelines because they had too many players on her team. Nope. She was just standing there because she had no idea what to do! I think she touched the ball once when she stuck her foot into the wad of kids who were circling the ball like prey. At the end she was pleased with the mud on her new shinguards and ready to try again next week.
