Oh Mackenzie, we've been kicking around the idea of signing you up for soccer for some time now. Well, we finally took a shot and signed you up for the Upward program at a local church. You were so excited and couldn't wait to play...until that day finally came. Back in early March, you had your first soccer practice, and to say you had fun, wouldn't be so true. It's overwhelming for Daddy and me, so I can't imagine how you must feel. You're the youngest on your team (GO LIGHTENING!) by about a year and a half and you are certainly the smallest. The boys on your team are boys, and are really rough, but you're getting there. The first few practices, I had to be out on the field with you and you had to be holding my hand. The same is true for your first game. It was so hard for me not to get in there and play with a bunch of toddlers! Coach Jerry is oh so patient with you, and you love to kick the ball to him to turn him into Cinderella. It's pretty funny watching him prance all around the field!
All smiles on your way to your first ever soccer practice!
Not so sure about the cleats and hating the shin guards...
Listening to Coach Jerry
Look how small you are out there!
Adjusting your socks for the upteenth time...
Making sure they're just right...
There!
