Soccer Girl

For months, Caroline has been talking about being a "soccer girl." She says she wants to be a soccer player when she grows up, she runs around showing us her soccer moves, and even has a black and white striped dress that she refers to as her "soccer dress."
All of this excitement, and yet, she knows absolutely nothing about what soccer really is. Some of her friends at school put a team together, so we decided to join...I mean, of the girl has aspirations of playing professionally someday, who u am to crush her dreams? ;)
This past weekend they had their kick off event...Soccer Skills day. A fun little practice for all the 4 (or almost 4) year olds in the league. A way to get familiar with a few basics and have fun.
We needed a proper soccer outfit, of course...


(here are those "soccer moves" I mentioned)

And daddy took her to pick out pink shin guards, pink cleats, and a sparkly pink ball!

Unfortunately, the "fun day" wasn't as fun for our little soccer girl...




Daddy said the mood was pretty intense, and Caroline thought "the running part made her very tired" ha!
I am sure it will be more fun when she is with all her little friends rather than a bunch of random kids, but we shall see...

There may be a career change in our soccer girls future ;)
