soccer superstar.

 

i can now add the title of soccer mama to my resume.  C had her first game this weekend.  after only one practice, watching her run around and figure out what might be happening was amusing.  the fact that it was nearly 80* and the storms that they had been predicting for a week didn't happen?  truly the icing on the cake.  here she was coming out of the game with a bit of an equipment malfunction and needed her shin guard reaffixed.

 

high fives all around.  she's playing 3v3 soccer and there are seven kids on her team so they spent their time on the sideline drinking lots of water and playing with extra soccer balls.

 

and of course, little sister L was on the sidelines to cheer C on.  i could seriously eat those itty bitty legs.  this photo is the first time i truly see that L looks just like her daddy.  and this is also proof that i do indeed use all the strollers we own.  it had been almost a year since we'd used the single jogging stroller but it was perfect for the game.

 

her chance at a goal kick.  this is where i wish i would've paid a bit more attention to my high school pe teacher during our soccer unit.  i have a wealth of sports knowledge EXCEPT when it comes to soccer.  i had to verify with andy what it was she was actually doing.  this will be a good learning experience for me too!

 

a smile on her face.  there's no doubt she was having a great time.

 

towards the end of the game, L was getting tired of the stroller.  so nice to have daddy on hand to give her a better view of what was going on.

 

and here's proof that she not only looks like me but also has inherited my facial and hand expressions as well.  i'm not sure what she was questioning but she obviously wasn't pleased. 

 

and of course, the best part was the post-game snack.  a juice drink (which she doesn't get at home) and a granola bar.

i think it's going to be a great season.
