My sweet little Leesey decided she wanted to play soccer. I told her that she would have to give up gymnastics or dance and she gave up gymnastics without a second look back. Which totally surprised me because I thought she was LOVING her gymnastics class. Kids just always keep ya guessing. Part of their charm, haha. SO, we signed her up for soccer at church and long story short, I ended up being the coach. With Ross's "help."
It was such a great season (once I got over the fact that they were three and couldn't quite follow along with all the drills I asked them to do) for Elise and her friends. She ended up knowing several kids on her team and several on the other. In fact, she never ever wanted to kick the ball away from the people she knew on the other team. Super cute and frustrating, ha. She has such a sweet little spirit. Family even came over and supported her for several games!
Elise is incredibly fast and scored several goals throughout the season. It is exhilarating watching your kid out there trying hard and running for the ball. My competitive/ proud mom/ sports fanatic self was out in full force. I am immensely proud of my girl for trying something new!
It was so fun to watch and she did great! Soccer like her daddy-loved that they had Bible verses at half time!
