Soccer Girl!



I realized that I did not put in a post about Natalie playing soccer. Natalie played soccer this spring on a 'Mighty Tots' team. It is pretty "stinkin' cute" to watch little, tiny 4 and 5 year old girls play soccer with soccer balls that almost come up to their knees, wearing their shin guards and tough-girl soccer cleats.
Natalie was not so fond of the game/practicing early on, but the more she played, the more her confidence grew. We had a great coach and he made the sport the kind of fun that it should be at that age. She loved seeing all who came out to watch her play: Gram, Grandad, Pa-Pa, Weezie, Ms. Mary, Daddy and Mommy. Every time she would kick the ball, she would do the little glance back to make sure we all saw it. Very cute. It is up in the air whether she will play another season, but if she does, she has plenty of fan support!
