Spring Soccer

We finally did it.

We signed Boo up for spring soccer.

It's over now, so I can say it was a good experience for all of us.

J ended up as head coach of her team last minute because they had so many kids sign up in her age group.  And he did an awesome job with the kids.  Her team was small, there were only five of them.  She was the only girl on her team, which initially was very upsetting to her.  But after the first practice, she was okay with it.  I really don't think we could have asked for a better bunch of kids or parents.  Boo got along so well with her team mates.  And one of her team mates had a sister Kitty's age, so they played together during practices.  By the end they were calling each other 'my sister'. 

The first practice was sweltering, then we had a long streak of freezing cold practices and games.  But by the end, the weather was great and Boo was really getting the hang of it.  I was sorry to see it come to an end.  I'm not sure if we'll be able to talk her into another round, but it was fun to do it at least once.
