her first soccer game

her first season of playing soccer…ever

Emma’s favorite things about her new sport:

  • running around trying to get the ball
  • kicking the ball
  • eating oranges at halftime
  • making a huge bridge/tunnel with teammates at the end of each game for the other team to run through
  • having friends on her team
  • being proud of how much exercise she’s getting
  • getting to bring 2 water bottles to each practice/game:  one for drinking and one for dumping on her hot, sweaty head afterwards
  • having a great coach
  • learning a new sport
  • finally getting to play after begging me for the past  5 years to play with her best friend, mackenzie- who broke her ankle right before the season started and ended up not being able to play with emma anyway
  • getting to celebrate with dad afterwards at mongolian grill (bubble tea and teriyaki)

i missed today’s game because i got to be at the dentist with everyone else, but next week i’ll be there to cheer on her team, Orange Crush.

and i was told she did awesome.  way to go, emma!

  3. then you're doing it wrong, crystal. amy is the master of the french braid. and she learned the art of it on my tender hair. good luck, emma. looks like a great commitment.
