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.
