Addie's First Soccer Practice

this big girl had her very first soccer practice last week!

she was so nervous and anxious but at the same time, beyond excited!

she started out super timid and spent a fair amount of time with her hands in her shirt or biting her little nails.

but after a quick game of learning names and kicking the ball around, this girl got into playing ball!

i haven't seen this level of serious focus from her in a while!

they worked on dribbling the ball and kicking it into the goal.

and even played a practice game, where she got to be one who threw the ball back in! 

but there were definitely some moments of spinning and jumping and just being a typical (wonderful!) 4 year old!

but what i loved the most about her first practice was midway through, every team on every field stopped and had a devotional.

i think this is going to be a great first season of soccer!

Soccer Girl

Somebody started soccer on Tuesday.

And after being incredibly nervous and getting lots of pep talks, she was a super star on the field! Of course, many more action shots to come...
