I am officially a soccer mom

Alli started soccer last Saturday. She is on a team with her friend Elijah. The league started right off with a game... no practice. It was fun watching twenty kids who had little or no clue what to do chase the ball around. Alli spent most of the game watching the kids and the ball go back and forth. She wasn't quite sure what to do. One boy managed to dribble the ball close to the goal and then he ran a complete circle around the ball before deciding on a spot to kick from. So cute.

Towards the end of the game she noticed that Ruby was eating a snack on the sideline. Alli asked me for a snack too, and I told her she could have one after the game (she was on the field). She burst into tears. Coach called her over to the sidelines where Elijah gave her a big hug. Poor thing.

Andy had a great time being Soccer Dad. He cheered for all the kids and coached from the sideline.

Yes, Alli wore pink sparkly shoes.

Lol! I love little kid soccer! It's like watching a hive of bees zig-zag around the field while a few stray ones look confused or pick flowers (my niece does this during her games). I'll be joining the soccer mom club soon!
