In the middle of our sale this weekend, Emma had a soccer game. She wasn't very happy about leaving the garage to go play but I finally got her to the field and shoes on right before the ref started the game. I'm sorry but her team is not very good. It's ten kids that are all pretty much first timers and some, I think, had never seen a soccer ball before....
They started off the season with a 5-0 loss but was just happy to play. Second game they lost 5-3 and this one was rough because they lost again even though they scored a few goals. But this weekend they got their first W and Em somehow scored the only goal of the game. It was a nice goal that if you just started watching the game minutes before she shot the ball you might be fooled to believe that she could shot and play, but for the rest of us that saw her in the third quarter, yes! They have quarters here, when she played goalie and after a couple of not so successful attempts of kicking goal kicks and hearing the coach tell me; "It's ok, she is learning. And I will spend some extra time with her kicking the ball." They rest of us were just so happy to finally get to see our kids win a game!
Wish Dave could have seen her score her first goal but hopefully she will score many more!
