Abby had her third soccer game of the season tonight. I'm really happy with how things are going and apparently so is she! Last year I was coaching her team and it was always so frustrating when she didn't "get a score", or didn't "get to kick the ball." It wasn't frustrating for me but it sure was for her. We are talking major 5- year- old meltdowns here.
This year she is a little older, a bunch more co-operative and dare I say a tad more coordinated as well! She's LOVING it and scoring a few times in each game. Tonight she got 3 goals!! Of course it makes me happy to see that the whole "goal" thing isn't the most important part for her this year. In fact she's equally thrilled when others around her score. That's when I feel most proud.
I think she just might be turning into a team player.
She's definitely our little drama queen though. Just as we were preparing to leave for her game some neighbor children came over asking if they could play. John and I told Abby that she had to decline but that she could offer to play later when she got home. As the neighbors walked across our lawn to head home Abby yelled out the window in a whimsical and very tragic sort of way,
"I'll see you before Sunset!"
Good grief.
I think next year we'll put her into Acting School!

Too cute. She is a great little player! And you're right, definately a Team Player! High fives Abby!!
Too cute. Makenna still hasn't really caught the soccer bug, as she has more fun swinging on the goal posts or doing yoga or something... haha! She didn't go yesterday since she'd stayed home sick from school, but hopefully next week will be a good soccer week. :o)
Hey Tanis, Congratulations! I haven't been on the computer in quite a while so I just found out you are expecting. That's so exciting. I love what Sam said, So cute!
Congrats Tanis! 2 boys & 2 girls, I'd say that's just about perfect. You take such great pictures. You should be a photographer. Loved the post that John did for your birthday. You both have a gift in your writing skills. Your family will love to read all of this one day. P.S. Can you come to my house & use your whirlwind cleaning talents?! :)
