On the morning of Kaia's first soccer game she threw a grand fit. She said she hated soccer and wouldn't get out there and run. I was thinking I would have to plead with the YMCA to give us our money back and take the shin guards back to Wal-Mart. But once we got there and her coach called her out on the field, it was nothing but fun. She even scored a goal (for the wrong team) which she proudly states at least once a day. All the parents on the side lines were laughing so hard throughout the game. I heard one dad say, "We don't do this for the kids, this is for our entertainment." The little pack of 4 year-olds would run after the ball, even if that meant running onto a neighboring game. It was hilarious. Then at the end there were treats and a bubble stick gift. I think she'll play soccer the rest of her life :)

So funny! To bad that it will probably be canceled this week due to all the snow :(
This is super funny!! I love the part about the crowd of 4 year olds chasing the ball onto other fields! Funny! ps. Thank you for always doing such a good job with Joy School and so genuinly enjoying it!
