First Soccer Game

For the past month, every Wednesday evening they have soccer practice. Most of the time, practices are only about a half hour because it's been too cold and windy for the little ones to be outside, but they still enjoy kicking around the ball and just running around. There is not much you can do other than have some fun when it comes to 3 and 4 year olds.

Time for practice

 

This past Saturday was McKaila's first soccer game. It was technically the second soccer game of the season, but last weekend, McKaila was still fighting a cold, and with it still being chilly outside, I didn't want to risk it getting any worse.

 

McKaila was really excited for her first soccer game. It's all she could talk about with the days leading up to it. That's how it was last week too and was really bummed when I told her she was too sick to go. The morning of her soccer game, she was very anxious to get her new uniform on and go kick around her pink soccer ball.

 

Once getting to the soccer fields, McKaila seemed like she was all ready to get in there and do some business. She started warming up by kicking the ball around with daddy and scored some goals. Once game time came around though, she wasn't too impressed. She started out really good, but once someone tried to kick the ball away from her, she had enough. Courtney would try and talk to her and get her to go get the ball, but she wasn't having it. She would go for it if it would come near her, but if not she just stood there. Oh well, hopefully in time she will get over that and have a little more fun with it. They have games until the end of March, so she has plenty of time to start understanding the game a little bit more.
