Spring has sprung and it has taken the form of soccer

Charlotte started soccer this weekend.  

Lil' Kickers Soccer.  

She's a Thumper.  I don't know what that means.  

We got up early Saturday, packed up the troops, and headed out to show our support for our baby's sports debut.  

She started off by holding a ball and keeping guard of all the others.  My Balls, Mama!


Here she is, again, holding her ball.  



Here I am trying to tell her that there is more to soccer than just holding a ball. In fact, this is where I attempted the 'no hands' conversation.  



I didn't get through.  She walked away from me.  
Holding her ball.  



She dropped her ball once and I had every hope she'd attempt a kick.  She didn't.  She just picked it back up again.  



She did put a cone on her head at one point - but kept several balls close by just to be safe.  



I don't think she gets this whole soccer thing - especially the no hands part.  

But with that happy face who really cares.
