My little angel played soccer for the first time this year. She loved every minute of it and couldn't wait for the next practice or game. I loved watching her play...the excitement she showed each time she touched the ball, the joy of running in circles and the many, many minutes lost playing in the dirt instead of playing soccer.
After the first game Addi was so confused why there was only one ball for 10 kids. So we told her to just get in there and touch it once...that is all you have to do. By the second game she mastered it but had a hard time getting past this concept. Every time she touched the ball, she would stop dead in her tracks turn around to us and say "Mommy, I did it..I touched the ball!" (and she had a good little dance that went along with it EVERY TIME). The game would continue on but Addi was jumping up and down with excitement from her accomplishment. By the last game we made progress..she touched the ball 3 times in a row then screamed and danced around! I love her so much!
