We signed Zane and Emmy both up for spring soccer. Zane got to be on the same team as last fall and his experience has been good so far. Our sweet boy has the best attitude and doesn't get upset when he doesn't score or misses a block, and he truly enjoys playing. We wish he could get his foot on the ball more, but he does try hard. If only it were as easy as when we play in the back yard.
Emmy, on the other hand has had a much different experience so far. We expected her to be tough out there - to go after the ball like crazy - and be fast! She was all of the for about the first 10 minutes of the first game. Then, after she didn't score by then, and got knocked down, she basically shut down and never recovered. Poor girl just didn't want to play anymore. So we tried everything for the next couple of games...I even held her hand and ran out on the field to play with her, but it didn't work. Finally, on Saturday, when we said it was time to get ready for their games, she burst into real, sad, horrible tears and begged us not to go. So we decided to let her quit and she was relieved. She said, "It's too boring." Haha.
Here's a few of Zane...
He's in front of his coach. He's on a U7 team, so is pretty much the youngest and smallest.
Emmy was so cute out there and her jersey was even purple!! We thought it was meant to be. :)
For the second game, she decided to add some accessories. She didn't take her wings off the whole morning. My diva soccer player. Haha.
