soccer

We had our first soccer game of the season last week. It was a 9:30 game and it was H-O-T. I like the set up so much better this year. Thirty minutes of practice and thirty minutes of game. Bella is much more interested in playing and much more excited to be out on the field. Last year we had practice twice a week and a game and she got burnt out very quickly. She is on a team with six other girls this year and loves it so far. The fashionista was concerned about the uniforms. Last year they had hunter green and she was hoping for purple this year. When I told her they were green again, she kind of wrinkled her nose at me. The lime green with bright blue has seemed to appease her however. Her shoes, of course, are pink again.
She is much more aggressive this year on the field and happier to be out there. Last year she wanted to play puppy and was more interested in picking flowers than kicking the soccer ball. This year she is all all over the ball, even if she's heading towards the wrong goal. She's not using her hands at all and she's got a great attitude so far. We're excited for the season!
