We received a flyer from Phoebe's school regarding a community soccer league. We considered signing her up for it, but wasn't sure if she'd be interested. So we took her to see the boys play and she said that she wanted to play. They were still registering for the church league they were on, so we signed her up with them. She's on Team Norway and Mr. Barrett (whom she already knows) is the coach. Yesterday, Oct 1st, was her first game. She didn't have team practice yet because the practice day after she signed up, was reserved for team pictures. At least we signed her up in time for those! We bought her some cleats and a soccer ball and she practiced during the week in our backyard. During her first game yesterday, she kept going after the ball and she did a great job! One kid that was on her team started kicking the ball towards the other goal and Phoebe said, "hey, our goal is on this side, ya know?!". We were cracking up. But she had a great time and really surprised us. She fell a few times, but got right back up and kept playing without saying a word. We are so proud of her!
Go Team Norway! #4
